26 SAFETY INFORMATION
Note: The illustrations on the following pages are typical for purposes of emphasizing a
safe method for hand/foot placement and movement during cab entry/exit. Your vehicle
may not look exactly like the one pictured.
Note: The arrows in the illustrations are intended to show movement. Notice that three-limb
contact is maintained even when one foot, or one hand, is moving.
Driver Side
The following cab entry and exit procedures, along with the safety guidelines outlined in
Three-Limb Contact earlier in this section, should be used with this MACK vehicle.
Entry
These entry procedures are illustrated on the following page:
1 With both feet firmly on the ground, grab the outside handhold with both hands or grab
the outside handhold with one hand and grab the steering wheel or inside handhold (if
equipped) with the other hand. Then raise one foot to the bottom step. (See figure 1.)
2 Maintain a firm grip on the handholds and/or steering wheel and raise your other foot
to the top step. (See figure 2.)
3 While still gripping the handholds and/or steering wheel, raise one foot to the cab floor.
(See figure 3.)
4 Move one hand at a time to the steering wheel, inside handhold (if equipped) or cab
interior. Bring the other foot inside the cab and sit down. (See figure 4.)
Exit
To exit, follow the illustrations in reverse order:
1 With both hands gripping the steering wheel, inside handhold (if equipped) or cab interior,
stand up and face the inside of the cab. Move one foot to the top step. (See figure 4.)
2 Move one hand to the outside handhold and grip the steering wheel, inside handhold (if
equipped), or cab interior with the other hand. With one foot firmly on the top step, lower
