Peterbilt 365 - Sleeper Bunks and Restraints

Sleeper Bunks and
Restraints
This vehicle comes equipped with a bunk
restraint for the primary lower bunk and the
optional upper bunk. These restraints
should be used whenever the bunks are
occupied by a person while the vehicle is in
motion. The sleeper bunk restraint is
intended to reduce the risk of being thrown
from the bunk in a crash. This device is not
designed to hold the occupant in a fixed
position on the bunk and may not prevent
all injuries in the event of a crash.
WARNING
Be sure the restraint system is used
when anyone is occupying the sleeper
while the vehicle is moving. In an acci-
dent, an unrestrained person lying in a
sleeper bunk could be seriously in-
jured. He or she could be thrown from
the bunk. Failure to comply may result
in death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
Lower Bunk
WARNING
Always keep the lower bunk in its hori-
zontal, latched,
position while the vehi-
cle is moving. If left open, stored items
could become loose during an acci-
dent and strike you, causing death or
personal injury.
Before you move the vehicle, check to be
sure the lower bunk is in the down position.
Upper Bunk
WARNING
Be sure the latch that holds the upper
bunk in
the folded position is working
properly so the bunk will not fall down.
Pull on the bunk to be sure it is latched
securely. If the bunk falls, you could be
injured. Failure to comply may result in
death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
WARNING
Any loose items on the upper or lower
bunk should
be moved to a secured
place before driving the vehicle. Fail-
ure to comply may result in death, per-
sonal injury, equipment or property
damage.
