Door Locks and Handles
One common key operates the ignition switch and all
of the door locks.
IMPORTANT: Each key is numbered. Record
the number so a duplicate key can be made, if
needed.
To unlock the right-hand door from outside the cab,
insert the key in the lock and turn it one-quarter turn
counterclockwise. Turn the key to the original posi-
tion to remove it. See
Fig. 2.1 .
To unlock the left-hand door from outside the cab,
insert the key in the lock and turn it one-quarter turn
clockwise. Turn the key counterclockwise to the origi-
nal position to remove it. Pull out on the paddle
handle to open the door.
NOTE: The cab door locks can be operated
when the doors are open.
To lock a door from outside the cab, insert the key in
the lock and turn it opposite the unlocking direction
(counterclockwise for the left-hand door, clockwise
for the right-hand door). See
Fig. 2.2 .
To lock a door from inside the cab, push the lock
knob down or press the automatic lock button on the
door armrest, depending on what the vehicle is
equipped with. See
Fig. 2.2 . To unlock the door from
inside, pull the lock knob up or press the unlock but-
ton on the door armrest, depending on what the ve-
hicle is equipped with.
Cab Access, Fixed Steps
WARNING
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.
Always maintain three-point contact with the ve-
hicle when entering or exiting the cab. Three-
point contact means both feet and one hand, or
both hands and one foot.
Do not jump from the vehicle.
The grab handles, access steps, and steering wheel
are all part of the cab access system. Use these
"helping hands" when getting into or out of the cab to
increase your security and comfort.
Left Side Entry
1. Open the left-hand door and place anything that
you are carrying in the cab.
2. Grasp the aft grab handle with your right hand
and the forward grab handle with your left hand.
See
Fig. 2.3 .
3. Place your right foot on the bottom step and pull
yourself up.
4. Place your left foot on the middle step, reaching
higher on both grab handles.
