Climbing Up and Down
Always have three limbs (one foot and
two hands or two feet and one hand) in
contact with the vehicle at all times
when entering or exiting the cab or the
area behind the cab. Failure to follow
this warning can result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
DO NOT climb up on or jump off from the
engine or stand on components that cannot
support your weight. Use an adequate lad-
der or scaffolding, suitably situated. Do not
use top of engine or cowling ledge as
foothold when reaching on top of cab.
Clean steps, handholds and areas of the ve-
hicle you will be working on or around.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual for proper
entry and exit procedures.
Always use a three-point stance (two
hands — one foot or one hand — two
feet) whenever climbing up or down.
