Operation of the Bunk Restraint

P4 DM Ch10; CasGen5 DM Ch7

Warning: Keep the upper bunk folded up and locked, and do not use the sleeper compartment while the vehicle is in motion unless a bunk restraint is installed and used. Not using the bunk restraint increases the chance of injury, or the degree of injury, to all occupants of the vehicle from accidents or sudden stops.

  1. Starting at the foot of the bunk, pull the link end of the belt up far enough to engage the buckle. See Fig. .

    Note: Mattresses not shown for clarity. Upper bunk pan cutaway shown for clarity.

  2. Fasten the belt by pushing the link end into the buckle until it latches. Make sure that the belt is not twisted. Check the engagement by trying to pull the link out of the buckle. If they come apart, repeat this step. If the problem continues, replace the belt. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other two belts located in the middle and upper portion of the bunk to lock the restraint in place.
  3. To release the bunk restraint, push the release button on the buckle at the head of the bunk and pull the link from the buckle.

    Repeat this step for the other two buckles to completely release the bunk restraint.
