Grab Handles and Access Steps
Caution: Slipping or falling from the vehicle can result in personal injury or property damage.
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.
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.
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.
Be careful not to get hands or feet tangled in hoses or other back-of-cab equipment as it could cause a trip and fall.
For ease of entry and exit, there are grab handles on the inner B-pillar, and optional grab handles on the A-pillars. In addition, the inner door grab handle and steering wheel may be used to provide a secure handhold. One or two access steps provide secure footholds.
The grab handles, access steps, and steering wheel are all part of the cab access system. Use these when getting into or out of the cab.
