Gas engine vehicles are qualified for up to 10 minutes of continuous

operation as a stationary power source, due to the potential for the

normal venting of fuel vapors. For stationary PTO operation of extended

duration (beyond 10 minutes), diesel engine is recommended. Further

consult your aftermarket PTO installer, since the duration of operation

limit for the aftermarket PTO may be less than the vehicle is capable of.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

If driving through deep or standing

water is unavoidable, proceed very

slowly especially when the depth is

not known. Never drive through

water that is higher than the bottom

of the wheel rims (for cars) or the

bottom of the hubs (for trucks).

When driving through water, traction or brake capability may be limited.

Also, water may enter your engine’s air intake and severely damage your

engine or your vehicle may stall. Driving through deep water where

the transmission vent tube is submerged may allow water into the

transmission and cause internal transmission damage.

Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your

vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.

Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as quickly as dry brakes.
