WARNING
Service Air uses a blue seal, Emergency Air uses a red seal. Do not cross Service/Emergency air
lines at glad-hands. Make sure they are hooked up correctly to meet brake air pressure
requirements.
WARNING
For fifth wheel heights of 62 inches, as on the M1088, it is recommended that the ground boards
are placed under the extended, and locked, scissors landing leg feet on the M871A3. Attempting to
couple the tractor with the semitrailer below the fifth wheel height may damage the equipment.
Ground boards should be used both on soft and hard surfaces to preclude personnel injury and
equipment damage.
WARNING
Clean and check service brakes and all brake components for wear and damage. Replace worn or
damaged parts. At Triennial Service replace all springs, pins, rollers, clips and bushings on each
axle end. May cause injury to personnel and damage to the equipment.
12V/24V COVERTER:
CAUTION
To preclude damage to the semitrailer’s converter box and electrical
system either the 12 volt (7 pin)
OR
the 24 volt (12 pin) cable must be
plugged into a converter box, only one or the other,
NOT
both. The
converter box allows either 12 volts
OR
24 volts to be utilized from the
tractor,
not
both at the same time.
