SAFETY NOTICES:
WARNING
Allow the vehicle’s engine and cooling system to cool to ambient temperature before performing the repair procedure. A hot engine or cooling assembly may cause burns or other personal injury.
WARNING
To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protection when performing vehicle maintenance, service or inspection.
WARNING
Before working on a vehicle, set the parking brake, place the transmission in neutral and block the wheels. Failure to do so can result in unexpected vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death.
Working on CNG/LNG Trucks
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If you store or dispense Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), or if you work on CNG or LNG trucks, your location must be fully compliant with applicable codes, regulations and standards, including National Fire Protection Associate (NFPA) codes, Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) standards, the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and your state and local fire and other applicable codes (including, for example, the California Code of Regulations and the Texas Administrative Code).
Contact your local fire department for guidance and additional compliance information.
Technicians working on Autocar trucks with CNG or LNG engines must be trained in the proper repair of CNG and LNG trucks and engines and the safe storage and dispensing of CNG and LNG.
WARNING
CNG fuel systems include a high pressure (3600 psi) system for fuel storage and a low pressure system (125 psi) for consumption by the engine. Understanding the characteristics of CNG and how the fuel system works will prevent injury and damage to persons and property.
Attempting to operate or maintain any CNG fuel system without proper training is dangerous. Complete training and consult instructional bulletins from the CNG system suppliers, such as Agility Fuel Systems’ Field Service Bulletin, Safely Working on CNG Fuel Systems. Welding and Hot Work Near CNG and LNG Trucks
WARNING
Welding, grinding and other “hot work” can be safely performed on or near a CNG or LNG vehicle, but certain precautions must be followed. Understand and perform the necessary precautions provided by the CNG system suppliers, such as Agility Fuel Systems’ Field Service Bulletin, Welding and Hot Work Precautions Near CNG and LNG Vehicles.
CNG Cylinders
WARNING
CNG fuel containers must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 304 (Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Container Integrity) and/or ANSI/CSA NGV2 (Basic Requirements for Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel Containers). Both standards specify a detailed visual examination every three years.
Ensure that every truck owner completes the required inspections, in accordance with the applicable standards and other resources, such as the Clean Vehicle Education Foundation and NGVAmerica’s Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Container Visual Inspection Advisory.
FMVSS 304 also requires that cylinders not be used after the end of life (EOL) date provided on the tank label. The EOL date is also displayed in the engine compartment and at the fueling connection of each truck. If there is any question as to proper decommissioning of a cylinder, contact the manufacturer, whose name and address is also required to be on the label.
CNG Fuel Container Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs)
WARNING
PRDs must be properly maintained and positioned for safe operation of a CNG fuel system. Missing vent caps can allow moisture into PRDs and vent lines, which can freeze and damage these safety components. Debris which clogs the PRDs and/or vent lines can prevent proper function.
PRDs must be positioned to vent upward, not outward, from a vehicle.
Ensure that every truck owner completes periodic inspections of the PRDs and vent lines and systems, in accordance with guidance provided by the system component suppliers.
Alert First Responders to CNG and LNG
DANGER
In the event of a fire or other emergency, alert first responders to the presence and location of CNG fuel systems, tanks and dispensers. Ensure that emergency personnel are aware of proper precautions, such as those provided in Agility’s First Responder Guide: CNG and LNG Vehicle Fuel Systems.
CAUTION
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES
Before entering the vehicle or vehicle body, read and follow OSHA regulations concerning entry and working in “CONFINED SPACE” OSHA 1910.146 and “LOCKOUT/TAGOUT” OSHA 1910.147. Follow OSHA regulations while performing any work on the vehicle. The vehicle must be disabled by the following steps before performing any work on the vehicle:
- Place the transmission in NEUTRAL.
- Set the parking brake.
- Shut the engine OFF.
- Lock cab doors, keep the key in your pocket. Block the wheels before entering the body or performing any work on the vehicle.
- Turn the battery disconnect switch OFF, if equipped.
- Completely drain the air from the primary/A system and secondary/B system by opening the drain valves on the air tanks themselves or by using the drain manifold if supplied. When draining the air tanks, do not look into the area where air is draining. Dirt or sludge particles may be expelled in the air stream and can cause eye injury.
- Place magnetic “DANGER” signs on both cab doors before entering the body or performing any work on the vehicle.
- Take proper precautions before working under the vehicle. Use ramps approved for the weight of your vehicle, or use floor jacks and stands. Never work under a vehicle supported by jacks alone. Always use jack stands to support the vehicle.
Inspection for the presence of clevis pin and slit pin retainer
- Complete the “LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES” on the preceeding page and be sure to drain the air tanks completely and chock the wheels.
- Locate the slack adjusters at each wheel end of the vehicle (see Figure 1).
- Inspect for the presence of the clevis pin and a split pin retainer (see Figure 2).
Note: If any defects, worn ,damaged or missing components are found or if you have any questions or difficulties regarding this recall, please contact Autocar technical support at 888-218- 3611.
- Secure the jam nut against the yoke. 1/2-20 thread torque to 30 lb/ft. 5/8-18 thread torque to 50 lb/ft. (see Figure 3).
