information decal located inside the cab. Only those seating positions equipped with factory installed seat belts are
to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. Any seat, bench, or stool not equipped with a factory installed seat belt
is to be used by emergency personnel only while the vehicle is stationary with the parking brakes properly applied.
5-3. Compartment Doors
Keep compartment doors closed when not in use.
Personnel in a hurry may tend to leave doors open after retrieving equipment. Always close swing-up or swing-out
compartment doors. People can walk into doors left open at lower levels and become injured.
Swing up door should always be shut when not in use. Personnel working on top of the apparatus can mistake an
open horizontal door for a walking surface.
All occupants must be seated and belted when the apparatus is in motion or serious injury or death
may result.
Do not ride on the rear step or any other area outside the cab while the vehicle is in motion or death or
serious injury may result.
Never transport more people than the seating capacity of the vehicle. Carrying additional personnel
may result in death or serious injury.
NEVER step on open compartment doors.
They do not support your weight.
