3. IMPORTANT ACCESS POINTS
While operating the vehicle, quick response to warning indicators
may avoid a break down or an emergency condition. Be familiar
with the following important access points if instructed by the con-
trol center to conduct corrective measures to important vehicle
components.
Side Console Components
There are two access points to components of the side console.
The exterior side console access door, located under the driver’s
window, allows access to air lines, pressure switches and electri-
cal harnesses connected to side console controls. It is held open
by (2) gas struts and closed by (2) square key latches.
The side console switch panel lifts for access to electrical and
PLC components beneath the panel. Two set screws on either
side of the panel turn to release it. Lift at the center handle.
Locker Control Switches
Within the driver’s locker, located above the driver’s window, are
four control switches. The switches and their basic function are:
• The Retarder switch — to enable or disable the retarder.
• The Door Master switch — to enable or disable the Door and
Interlock Systems.
• ABS switch — to initiate ABS System diagnostics.
• Dampening Monitor switch — to reset the articulating joint
dampening module.
Normal vehicle operating conditions do not require activation of
these switches but emergency or fault situations may require their
use. For further details refer to the same headings in Section 7:
Instrumentation and Controls.
