INTRODUCTION
This Handbook is provided as a guide to familiarize the operator and serviceman
with the controls, recommended inspections, start-up, operating, shutdown and
parking procedures for TA35 and TA40 Articulated Trucks.
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means:
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF
OTHERS IS INVOLVED!
Safety Precautions
The vehicle should be properly operated and maintained to keep it in safe,
efficient operating condition. Be sure that all controls are free of mud, grease, or
other matter that might cause slips hazardous to the operator, serviceman, or
other personnel or equipment. Report all malfunctions to those responsible for
maintenance, and, do not operate the equipment until corrected. Normal service
or maintenance performed as required can prevent unexpected and unnecessary
downtime.
This Handbook describes general inspections, servicing and operation with the
normal safety precautions required for normal servicing and operating conditions.
It is not a guide however, for other than normal conditions or situations, and
therefore, servicemen and operators must be safety conscious and alert to
recognize potential servicing or operating safety hazards at all times, and take,
necessary precautions to assure safe servicing and operation of the vehicle.
READ the CIMA Safety Manual supplied with this vehicle.

Theft Deterrent Practices
General
The owner/operator should take the following precautions to discourage theft, to
aid in the recovery in the event that the vehicle is stolen, or to reduce vandalism.
Actions to Discourage Theft and Vandalism
Remove all keys any time the vehicle is left unattended.
At night lock all doors and attach, secure or lock all anti-vandalism and
anti-theft devices on the vehicle.
Immobilize the vehicle by removing a critical electrical or starting system device.
Upon receipt of a vehicle, record the vehicle serial number and the serial
numbers of all major components and attachments. Keep this list up to date and
filed in a safe location for fast retrieval.
Place a decal or notice on the vehicle that all serial numbers are recorded.
Discourage the thief! Inspect the gates and fences of the machinery storage yard
or construction site. Keep vehicles in well-lit areas and ask the local law
enforcement authorities to make frequent checks around the storage yard or
work site.
Establish liaison with neighbours and ask them to watch equipment left at job
sites and to report any suspicious activities to the local law enforcement
authorities.
Make frequent inventories of vehicles to promptly detect losses or vandalism.

Actions to Aid in Recovery of Stolen Vehicles
In the event of theft, immediately notify the law enforcement authorities having
jurisdiction. Provide the investigating officer with name, type of equipment,
chassis and serial numbers of major attachments and components. It is helpful to
show the investigating officer an Operator’s Handbook, photographs, and
advertising, to familiarize him with the appearance of the vehicle.
Report the theft to the insurance company. Provide the model and all serial
numbers.
Report the model and serial numbers of the stolen vehicle to a dealer handling
the respective line of equipment. Request that the dealer forward this same
information to the equipment manufacturer.
