Cab Entry and Exit
For ease of entry and exit, there are three grab
handles, one on the A-pillar, one on the inner B-pillar,
and an optional one on the inside of the door. In ad-
dition, the steering wheel may be used to provide
secure handholds. There are at least two access
steps to provide secure footholds.
NOTE: The A-pillar grab handle is not installed
on the driver’s side.
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.
They will increase your security and comfort.
Entering from the Driver’s Side
To enter the cab on the driver’s side, use the grab
handles and access steps as follows:
1. Open the driver-side door and place anything
that you are carrying in the cab.
2. Grasp the B-pillar grab handle with your right
hand. See
Fig. 2.4 .
3. Grasp the door grab handle with your left hand.
4.
Place your right foot on the bottom step, and pull
yourself up.
5. Place your left foot on the top step.
6. Grasp the steering wheel with your left hand, and
step up.
7. Step into the cab with your right foot first, and
grasp the steering wheel with your right hand.
Exiting from the Driver’s Side
To exit the cab from the driver’s side, use the grab
handles and access steps as follows:
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to exit the cab
while carrying any items in your hands.
1. If you wish to take any items with you out of the
cab, place them in an accessible location on the
seat or cab floor. Make sure they will not get in
your way as you exit.
WARNING
Always face in when exiting the cab. Do not at-
tempt to exit with your back to the cab, as you
would going down a flight of stairs. It is easier to
slip or lose your balance. If you slip when exiting
in this way, there is a greater likelihood of per-
sonal injury.
2. Grasp the steering wheel with both hands, place
your left foot on the top step, then stand on the
threshold facing into the cab. See
Fig. 2.4 .
3. Using your right hand, grasp the B-pillar grab
handle.
4. Move your right foot to the bottom step.
