Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm chassis drive configuration and hand of drive before order to match local regulations
Use only the designated discharge valve and hoses to avoid leaks or pressure loss
Inspect manholes and valves before and after each fuel transfer for damage or blockage
Keep the fire extinguishers charged and accessible at all times
Do not exceed 80 km/h to maintain safety and engine longevity
Drain hoses and valves after use in cold weather to prevent freezing
