PART 2: GETTING INTO AND OUT OF THE CAB,
FRAME ACCESS, AND CAB LADDER
PB1319 (CAT. NO. 5296 ) —6— 22-01691 (R02/02)
Door Lock and Keys
Doors can be locked from the inside by using the lock button. Close
the door then push the button down to lock. Doors automatically
unlock when you open them from the inside, and can be locked from
the outside with a key only.
To lock or unlock the doors from outside the cab, insert the key in the
lock. Turn the key toward the rear to lock; forward to unlock.
Climbing Onto the Deck Plate
WARNING! To lessen the chance and/or severity of per-
sonal injury in case of an accident, always lock the
doors while driving. Along with using the lap/shoulder
belts, properly locking the doors helps prevent occu-
pants from being thrown from the vehicle.
WARNING!
•
If there is no deck plate, or if proper steps and grab
handles aren’t provided, don’t climb onto the area
behind the cab. Peterbilt did not intend for an area to
be a step if handrails or proper steps are not provided.
•
You could fall and injure yourself if you step onto a
fuel tank surface. A fuel tank is not a step. The tank
surface can get very slippery, and you might not be
able to prevent a fall. Don’t step onto the surface of a
fuel tank. Use only the steps and handholds provided,
not chain hooks, etc.
•
You can be hurt if you aren’t careful climbing onto and
off the deck plate. You can slip and fall, especially if
the surfaces are wet or icy, or if you step in oil, fuel, or
grease. Keep steps clean. When you are climbing
onto and off the deckplate, always maintain at least
three points of contact with your hands on the grab
handles and your feet on the steps.
NOTE: Any alteration (adding bulkheads, headache racks,
tool boxes, etc.) behind the cab or sleeper that affects the
utilization of grab handles, deck plates, or frame access
steps installed by Peterbilt must comply with FMCSR 399.
