Exiting the Passenger Side
For ease of entry and exit, there is a handle on both the A-pillar and the B-pillar. In addition, the steering wheel and door grab handle may be used to provide a secure handhold. There are at least two access steps to provide secure footholds.
Caution: Slipping or falling from the vehicle can result in personal injury or property damage.
Wet or dirty shoes greatly increase the chance of slipping or falling. If your shoes are wet or dirty, be especially careful when entering or exiting the vehicle.
Always maintain three-point contact with the vehicle when entering or exiting the cab. Three-point contact means both feet and one hand, or both hands and one foot.
When steps are mounted on battery box covers, make sure that the cover is latched and secure before using the steps.
Do not step on the fuel tank, battery box, frame, etc. unless adequate slip resistant surfaces and handholds are provided.
Do not jump from the vehicle.
Do not use parts of the vehicle as hand holds that are not designed for this purpose.
Important: Do not attempt to exit the cab while carrying any items in your hands. Place them in an accessible location on the seat or cab floor and make sure they will not get in your way as you exit, then retrieve them after you have exited the cab.
Caution: Always face in when exiting the cab. Do not attempt to exit with your back to the cab, as you would going down a flight of stairs. It is easier to slip or lose your balance. If you slip when exiting in this way, there is a greater likelihood of personal injury.
