BEFORE PLACING VEHICLE IN SERVICE
3-7.2 Cab Interior Equipment

When installing equipment in trucks equipped with Frontal Impact Protection, it is critical that equipment not be
mounted in the deployment path of the air bags. Additionally, no equipment should be placed in the area between
the first officer and the dashboard.
Consider the effect of cab-tilt on equipment storage to avoid damage from items falling forward when the cab is tilted
for service or maintenance.
Monitor the weight of items installed in a tilt-cab, or stored in tilt-cab storage areas. Too much weight inside the cab
may prevent the cab from being tilted for service or maintenance.
Refer to NFPA guidelines when mounting equipment inside the cab to avoid unnecessary risk of injury from flying
objects during a collision.
Exercise caution when drilling into cab walls, body walls, and headliners when mounting equipment, as there may
be wiring, heater hoses, or air conditioning hoses hidden beneath the surface.
Installation of equipment in the deployment path of the first officer’s knee air bag can result in improper
deployment, serious injury or death in the event of a collision. No part of any equipment may extend
within the area shown below, extending 4” outward from all sides of the knee air bag.
Always stow work surface while vehicle is in motion. Never ride in the seat unless the work surface is
stowed. Impact with the work surface during a crash will injure or kill.
