Gifu Truck Guide

• Located in the Peräjärvi area
• Check your in-game map (found at parents' house above the telephone)
• The truck is parked in the facility grounds
• This is also where you'll dump collected sewage

Before starting, ensure the truck is in neutral gear. This prevents the truck from lurching forward when the engine starts.

Once the glow plug light is off, crank the engine until it starts. If it struggles, try pumping the accelerator while cranking.

Pull the hand throttle knob partially or fully out. This serves two purposes:

• Helps keep the engine running smoothly after cold start
• Speeds up air pressure build-up for the brakes

The Gifu uses air brakes which won't work without sufficient pressure.

• A red warning light + loud buzzer indicates low air pressure
• A safety brake is automatically applied to prevent movement
• Rev the engine or use hand throttle to build pressure faster
• Wait 15-30 seconds until the buzzer stops and light turns off

• Low Range (L): Gears 1L through 6L — for starting, heavy loads, and hills
• High Range (H): Gears 1H through 6H — for highway speeds
• Press R to switch between High and Low range
• Recommended Starting Gear: 2L or 3L
• Fuel Efficiency Tip: Some players shift from 2L directly to 2H

The Gifu has a liftable rear axle controlled by a switch.

• Axle Raised (Yellow Light ON): Use when truck is empty — saves fuel and improves handling
• Axle Lowered (Yellow Light OFF): Use when hauling sewage — provides stability and traction

• Forces both drive wheels to spin at the same rate
• Use for: Off-road driving, getting unstuck
• Avoid on roads: Hinders turning, increases fuel consumption

• Jobs come as random phone calls from homeowners
• Answer the phone at your apartment or parents' house
• CRITICAL: Listen to the entire message — do NOT hang up early!
• After the call ends, a new location marker appears on your map

1. Go to the Wastewater Treatment Plant
2. Get in the Gifu (you have the keys by default)
3. Start the truck following the procedure in Section 3
4. Drive to the marked location on your map
5. Park approximately 3-4 feet from the septic tank

1. Remove the septic tank lid (square cover on the ground)
2. Go to the rear of the Gifu
3. Click on the hose to pick it up
4. Place the hose end INTO the septic tank (ensure it goes in fully)
5. Return to the Gifu cabin
6. Find the hydraulic pump switch on the dashboard and turn it ON
7. Use the hand throttle to rev the engine and start pumping

• Continue pumping until the tank is empty
• The homeowner NPC will say something like "Job done, here's money"
• You receive 1,200 MK per completed job
• Remove the hose from the septic tank
• Reattach the hose to the rear of the Gifu

• The Gifu holds 10,000 liters (approximately 4 septic tanks worth)
• When full, return to the Wastewater Treatment Plant
• Dumping costs approximately 1 MK per 6 liters

• Did you wait for glow plug light? — Wait for red coil symbol to turn off
• Is it in neutral? — Check transmission is not in gear
• Try pumping accelerator while cranking
• Cold weather: May take longer; use hand throttle after starting

• Check air pressure — Is the buzzer still sounding?
• Wait for air pressure to build — Rev engine or use hand throttle
• Release handbrake — Lever should be UP
• Check you're in gear — Try 2L or 3L

• Is hydraulic pump switch ON? — Check dashboard
• Are you using hand throttle? — Rev engine to power pump
• Is hose fully inserted? — The end must be completely in the tank
• Character coughing? — This means it's working; wait for tank to empty

• Did you hang up early? — Must listen to ENTIRE call
• Wait for NPC to finish talking — They will hang up when done
• Check map after call ends — New marker should appear
