Vehicle Receipt Prior to signing for vehicle delivery from a transporter company, the dealer is responsible for checking for transporter-related shortages or damages, and noting these discrepancies on the transporter’s delivery re- ceipt. The dealer is also responsible for ensuring that the vehicle was built according to the Truck Sales Order/ Invoice. Refer to Section 3 of the Daimler Trucks North America LLC Warranty Manual for details. Vehicle Storage There may be times when a vehicle is stored for long periods before customer delivery. To protect all ve- hicles from deterioration and weather, they must be properly maintained. Adequate protection and stor- age of new vehicles is the responsibility of the dealer. Claims arising from loss and damage to improp- erly stored vehicles will not be reimbursed. See Section 3 of the Daimler Trucks North America LLC Warranty Manual for instructions on storage of new vehicles. Pre-Delivery Information All pre-delivery inspections and services must be performed at an authorized Daimler Trucks North America LLC facility, assigned to fully qualified ser- vice personnel and recorded on the "New Vehicle Pre-Delivery Inspection" form. Refer to Section 3 of the Daimler Trucks North America LLC Warranty Manual for details. It is recommended the pre-delivery inspection be per- formed within 30 days of vehicle receipt. Vehicle Receipt, Storage, and Pre-Delivery Information 00.03 General Information Heavy-Duty Trucks Service Manual, Supplement 35, January 2008 050/1
Cooling System 1. Cooling system hoses must clear all moving parts by a minimum of 1/4 inch (6 mm). 2. The 1-inch (25-mm) hose from the surge tank to the engine must be free of sumps and have al- lowance for engine torque. 3. Cooling system hoses should not be twisted or kinked. 4. Cooling system hoses must be routed at least six inches (152 mm) from a heat source if the heat source does not have a heat shield. If a heat shield is provided, the hose must be routed at least three inches (76 mm) from the heat source. HVAC System 1. Cushion clamps are required to support all A/C lines. Butterfly or figure-8 clamps (two cushion clamps) may be used to prevent rubbing or chaf- ing. 2. Tie straps may only be used to fasten together A/C lines that are parallel to each other. 3. Heater hoses that are protected with convoluted tubing may be fastened with tie straps. If not pro- tected with convoluted tubing, only cushion clamps or butterfly clamps may be used for heater hoses. 4. A/C lines cannot be secured to air lines, fuel lines, or electrical wires. 5. HVAC hoses should be protected from damage by routing them away from hazards of heat, wheel splash (water, gravel, ice), human traffic, and moving parts of the vehicle. 6. HVAC hoses should be routed away from sharp points and edges (such as nuts, bolts, brackets, and frame rail edges), moveable parts, and sources of abrasion, cutting, pinching, or crush- ing. NOTE: If hoses are covered with convoluted tubing, they may touch any of the above. 7. Hoses that are protected with convoluted tubing may come in contact with the bends on frame rails and filters. 8. HVAC hoses must be routed at least six inches (152 mm) from a heat source if the heat source does not have a heat shield. If a heat shield is provided, the hose must be routed at least three inches (76 mm) from the heat source. 9. HVAC hoses should be clamped every 12 to 18 inches (305 to 457 mm). 10. All HVAC hoses must be routed so that regularly serviced components, such as fuel filters, fuel/ water separators, oil filters, air filters, belts, and fill and drain plugs, are readily accessible for ad- justment or replacement without the need to relo- cate or remove the hoses. 11. All Conventional sleeper heater hoses must be protected with convoluted tubing when they pass through the crossmember, and at the lower frame rail flange. 12. Hose supports for Conventional sleeper heater hoses will be where the brackets are located. Auxiliary Heater No additional tie straps or tape are needed when convoluted tubing is installed where the auxiliary heater hose routes past the edge of the frame rail. Engine Plumbing 1. On vehicles equipped with the Cummins M-11 engine and power steering, no additional tie straps or tape are needed if convoluted tubing is installed on the power steering hose where it routes under the frame rail. 2. The engine oil pressure line should not rub or chafe against the Teflon ® discharge line. Electrical Wiring 1. Wires that are bundled together should be fas- tened at 8- to 12-inch (203- to 305-mm) intervals. If anchor clamps are more than 12 inches (305 mm) apart, a tie strap must be used between the anchor clamps. 2. Bundles of wires that are located in an exposed area, such as under the cab or outside the frame rail, need to be fastened with heavy-duty cable ties.
