Operation

Before driving the vehicle, secure all loose items in the cab so that they will not fly forward during a full brake application. Check that the brake system warning light is off after releasing the hand brake. If the warning light does not go off, correct the problem before continuing operation of the vehicle.

During normal braking stops, depress the foot brake control pedal until braking action slows down the vehicle. Increase or decrease the pressure on the pedal so that the vehicle comes to a smooth, safe stop. When the forward speed of the vehicle has decreased to almost the idling speed of the engine, push the clutch pedal in (if equipped) and shift the transmission into Neutral (N). Apply the hand parking brake if the vehicle is to be parked.
