References 18 Purpose The purpose of a PM Service on a Semi-Truck is to add longevity to the life of the vehicle. It allows the mechanic to fully inspect every component of the vehicle and make any necessary repairs as needed. This allows a safe and well maintained vehicle to transport any number of goods for a very long time. Safety Shut engine off! Lock and Tag if necessary! Chock wheels to prevent unintentional rolling of vehicle! Coolant and Oil may be extremely hot and under pressure! Low clearance under or around vehicle can cause injuries! Sharp objects may be present! Research & Time Intervals It is important to research the vehicle you are performing a PM Service on. Verify you have the proper filters, oil type, oil viscosity, and grease type so as to not cause damage to important components of the vehicle! Be sure that the service is performed within the scheduled time. A vehicle that does not get a PM Service at the recommended date can cause unnecessary failures...

...Every person at least once in their lifetime must make the decision to choose between a challenging manual transmission or the convenience of an automatic transmission and it’s often quite the gamble. However, driving a manual car is ideal over an automatic because of the many beneficial long term and short-term effects it has on a person and their life. According to recent studies, “Most manual transmissions can deliver better fuel economy and acceleration” (“Manual vs. Automatic Transmission: Save Money”). Better fuel efficiency and drive performance all come with owning a manual car as well as maintenance cost, driving awareness, control, and many other things that one would look for when purchasing a car. While an automatic transmission does have its advantages, buying a car with a manual transmission gives not only a lifelong skill but also extra money in the bank and more gas in the tank. One of the most popular speculations of driving a...

...Manual Transmission vs Automatic Transmision Ever since the automotive revolution began, there has been a battle between manual and automatic transmissions. Why are stick shift cars so popular anyway? They are more difficult to drive, and one must be skilled to drive them. Why not choose an automatic easy ride, which can turn driving in to comfort, especially while driving in heavy traffic? The truth is, driving a stick shift offers benefits that automatic does not. People who drive stick shift cars know the difference and the advantages of having total control of one’s car engine; people who drive cars with automatic transmissions do not. Cars with automatic transmissions are a great way to drive around because they do not require much driving skill. People who do not like to drive usually will choose an automatic transmission which is one of the main problems. People who drive cars with automatic transmissions often do not pay as much attention as they should. With an automatic car it makes it easier for one to text, eat, do make up, or even read while driving which can lead to an accident or even death. Cars with automatic transmissions have improved through modern chips that have developed better shifting and response when the driver just presses on the gas. Even with the modern advances, automatic transmission cars encounter problems with the transmission more often than stick shift cars. Although automatic transmissions are easier to drive, they are not as fun because...

...Manual transmission vehicles have been around since the dawn of motor vehicles and are not going anywhere, therefor it would be in your best interest to learn how to properly operate one. Although operating a manual transmission or stick shift is thought to be an arduous task to perform by a vast majority of our population, it can be perfected by anybody through enough practice and dedication. To properly operate a manual transmission the same steps should be followed every time. Before getting started there are a few parts that you have to become familiar with that are not on an automatic transmission vehicle. The first part is a gear box that is usually located in between the two front seats of a vehicle. The gear box contains a stick shift...

...When I turned sixteen I knew exactly what car I wanted, my dad’s four door red Jeep Wrangler, fully knowing it was a manual. Little did I know it would take me a year to figure out how to drive it. Manual cars also go by a “straight” or a stick shift. This type of car can be found frustrating to drive but, it is more fuel efficient and exhilarating to drive. Before one begins to attempt to drive a manual: one must a have a manual car, and open area large enough to drive in, and an open mind. Driving a manual car is just like driving an automatic, just with an extra metal, a gear shift, and some coordination. If one has never driven a manual before, have a trained driver drive the car to the practice area. Before starting to drive, relax, being stressed will only make the learning process worse. To begin find a safe place to drive; a place that does not have a lot of traffic and is flat. A rookie does not want to find themselves in a hilly area their first time driving a manual. To become familiar with car get in and at once put the seat belt on. Push the far left pedal in and the brake and put the vehicle in neutral, which is the center of the gear shift, and...

...Microsoft User Manual Critique John Doe ENG/221 June 14, 2010 Instructor Name Microsoft User Manual Critique The focus of this paper will be to evaluate the Microsoft Word 2007 manual based on the criteria defined in Comparative User-focused Evaluation of User Guides: A case study (2007). The Microsoft Word 2007 manual is evaluated based on the following criteria: (a) attractiveness, (b) practicality, (c) simplicity, and (d) efficiency. Each of the four criteria are assigned a point value of between zero through five, zero meaning none of the criteria was not meet and five meaning the criteria was completely meet. Attractiveness A user manual should be attractive to entice the user to use it (Ganier, 2007). Attractiveness is subjective, a matter of personal esthetics, it is difficult to quantify attractiveness as it is defined differently by individuals. For the purposes of evaluating the attractiveness of the Microsoft Word 2007 manual three criteria as defined in Design 101(2007) are used: * Proximity: is related information groped together * Contrast: do the text and headings contrast with one another * Repetition: are design elements repeated throughout the manual Proximity To evaluate if related information is properly grouped in the Microsoft Word 2007 manual four main topics: (a) Activating Word, (b) Headers and footers, (c) Creating specific documents, and (d) Page numbers were selected at random from the table of contents. The main topics were checked...

...Design-Specification Manual: A How-to on Aspen Plus If this screen appears, enter in a title for the simulation and click on the Next button. If it doesn’t you can find it by clicking on Setup, which is found on the left hand side of the input screen. However, completing the Setup form isn’t manditory. Once finished inputting a title, Click Next. In the Component Name box enter the two components for this problem: isobutane and isobutylene (isobutene). Note that the data bank doesn’t recognize the name isobutene, hence isobutylene is entered because it is the same compound and it is in the data bank. Enter these names in the component name column. The names in the component ID column are aliases. Click Next. At this screen, enter in NRTL for the "base method” as we have done before in other simulations. This screen is under the Specifications sub-directory of the Properties section. Click Next. Aspen will now ask you for the FEED stream information. (Note how the title bar indicates which input form you are in.) Enter a temperature and a pressure of your choice. Next, enter the known flow rate of isobutane in the Total Flow box (make sure that you are using the right units). Also, Aspen Plus requires some composition info for the feed stream. For this example, in the Composition box, select the Mole-Frac and input 1 in the Value box for isobutane. Click on the Next button. The next screen will be the input...

...Tekken’s F1 Ultimate FX Mapping v2.1 This mapping can be used beside the default Kontrol F1 mapping. All the controls of the Remix Decks are still available. You can change between this effect mapping and the default F1 mapping with the buttons "Shift" + "Browse" anytime. Installation: 1. Load the .nckf1 file into the Native Instruments controller editor (not the controller editor in Traktor): Open the editor and choose your F1. Then click “edit” on the right side and append the .nckf1 file. 2. Backup your own Traktor controller mappings (if necessary), because they will be overwritten in the next step. Use the "Export" button in the preferences. 3. Load the .tsi file into the Traktor controller editor (not the Native Instruments controller editor) with the BIG “Import” button (at the bottom of the Traktor preferences). A window opens and you have to select both available boxes. It is important to do this import twice. Now eight new Tekken midi mappings should be in the Traktor controller editor (in the preferences under “Device”). Click each of these mappings and check if the “In-Port” and “Out-Port” are set to your Kontrol F1. 4. In the Traktor preferences, in the “Traktor Kontrol F1” tab, switch the “MIDI Mode Type” to “MIDI Mode”. 5. Restore your own controller mappings from step 2 (if necessary). Now use the SMALL "Import" button. (Traktor Preferences -> Controller Manager -> Add... -> Import) 6. Activate the mapping (see “Usage” below). 7. If there is a problem...

...Photosmart 5510 Series User Manual M. Raquel Medina ENG/221 August 14, 2012 Gregory Bontz Recently purchased, by the writer, was an HP All-in-One printer, scanner, and copier, the HP Photosmart 5510 series. A manual was provided in the boxed package but can also be viewed online at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02983578.pdf. The manual provides simplicity, clarity, attractiveness, organization and graphical illustrations. It is a well written instructional manual for users of any technical level, although the length of the document is a little too long. According to Don Norman, “People do not want to read manuals — they want to do their activity. Help them get right to work, with minimum reading” (Norman, 2012). At times a reader can become confused and frustrated with a user manual that is too big. Keeping the manual clear and simple is important. Simplicity • Positive: The HP Photosmart 5510 series user manual is made simple because of the shortness in its index. There are only nine major topics that are covered in the manual but these nine are the key points to operating the device. The manual has each topic linked to the page so a simple point and click gets you to the information needed. • Negative: The Technical Information portion of this manual was not easy to follow. Although, technical information is not the easiest to make simple. Clarity • Positive: Clarity is important when reading a user manual because your message must...
