Introduction
This manual has been designed and written for your use. Take your time
reading it. Study the illustrations, charts and photos. Figure 1 shows a typical
HVAC system (heating, ventilating, air conditioning) installed.
The illustration is cut away so you can see component locations. All of the
main components are labeled, connected together and positioned approxi-
mately as they appear in the vehicle. These components may differ from one
cab to another. There could be other system devices for safety or perhaps
sleeper cab comfort.
