1L - 6L is the first half, acting like gears 1 - 6. The Gifu has 12 forward gears, divided by a low and high range. Hit R(by default) to switch between high and low range (this has no effect on pumping or air pressure.) The yellow "L" light means the truck is in low range, which is good for low-speed maneuvers and climbing hills. Lifting the axle puts more weight on the drive wheels, therefore increasing traction. Lifting the axle is useful for hauling cars to Fleetari. Lower the axle (yellow light off) while hauling sewage to support the heavier load and increase stability. The truck should be driven with the axle raised when the tank is empty. This reduces fuel consumption and makes handling lighter when the tank is empty. The yellow axle lift light means the rear axle is lifted. In addition, the air tanks will gradually drain whenever the engine is not running, presumably due to a leak in the system. The air tanks are fitted with valves that discharge excess air pressure but can cause a low pressure event if the brakes are applied immediately afterward. Using the foot brake or parking brake too often will cause air pressure loss and should be used in moderation. Build air pressure by revving the engine or using the hand throttle until the buzzer stops. The red air pressure light accompanied with a buzzer means the air pressure is low, rendering the brakes ineffective. Make sure you have fuel, then keep trying until it fires up successfully. It will idle for less than a second then stall. Occasionally, the truck may refuse to start. Make sure it's in neutral before turning over. Switch on the ignition and wait for the red glow plug light (coil symbol) to turn off. Useful for maximizing hydraulic pump efficiency. Pulling the lever out will increase the idle RPM, pushing it in will decrease it. Works the same way as the Kekmet's hand throttle. You can use the hand throttle to increase the RPM while outside the cab. The higher the RPM, the faster the pump will operate. The pumping efficiency is based on the RPM of the engine. It is recommended to lower the rear axle while under a heavy load to increase stability, and raise it when empty. Lowering it will increase traction and provide better weight distribution. Lifts the rearmost axle up, which increases drivability and fuel economy. However, it will also make turning very difficult and increase fuel consumption, so it is advised not to use it for general driving. Locking the differential is useful for driving off-road or getting unstuck. Lock/unlocks the differential, which will force the drive wheels on either side to spin at the same speed. The truck has several switches and levers on the dashboard that control different functions, some of which are unique to the Gifu. Both of these were available for Sisu M-161 trucks at the time. The engine in the game is based on the 405 horsepower 14L Cummins NTE-400 as suggested by the Steam trading card however, it creates a noise similar to the 12.2L Rolls-Royce Eagle 320. The Sisu candy typeface uses old Fraktur, the capital and lowercase S letters of which look like a G and an f to readers of the modern Latin alphabet. The Gifu is based on a Finnish Sisu M-series truck (specifically an M-162 from the year 1982), and the name references the logo design of the Finnish Sisu candy. The "1" marking and the "0" marking is correct however. The position of the needle is correct but the text on the dial is wrong, when the needle is half way (horizontal) thats 50% tank of fuel. Consider carrying the diesel canister inside the cabin in case of emergencies. It is expensive and time consuming to refuel it (≈1,100 mk from an empty tank using diesel and ~ 400 mk using fuel oil and ≈10 real-time minutes of waiting). The truck has an extremely poor fuel economy because of its old and inefficient engine. This is because the speedometer is based on an analog tachograph that logs speed, distance and driver's activities on a round chart. The truck's speedometer also has a clock. Before you are able to drive the Gifu and receive septic job calls, you must get the keys from Uncle Kesseli after he loses his license. At the start of the game, it's located at the waste processing plant. It is also equipped with some accessories, such as beacons, a sun visor that reads "Suomi Finland," some Gifu branded front mud flaps and a fully functional sleeper cabin. It has a 6x2 taglift chassis with a worn 14L turbocharged diesel engine that produces 265 hp and a myriad of fumes. The player can use it for septic tank pumping jobs. The Gifu is a dirty and worn vacuum truck that the player owns after your Uncle gives you it.
