Entering 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.
- Open the passenger-side door and place anything that you are carrying in the cab.
- Facing the cab, grasp the B-pillar and A-pillar grab handles
with your hands. See Fig..
