Be careful not to get hands or feet tangled in
hoses or other back-of-cab equipment. Careless-
ness could cause a person to trip and fall, with
possible injury.
Entering Back-of-Cab
When climbing onto the deck plate, do the following:
1. Grasp the sidewall grab handle with both hands.
Reach up as far as is comfortable.
2.
Place one foot on the bottom step and pull your-
self up.
3.
Place your other foot on the top step.
4. Move your lower hand to a higher position on the
grab handle.
5. Step onto the deck plate.

1. Grasp the sidewall grab handle with both hands.
2. Step one foot at a time onto the top step.
3.
Move your upper hand to a lower position on the
grab handle.
4.

5. Move your upper hand to a lower position on the

Hood Opening and Closing
A grab handle at the front of the hood provides a
hand-hold for hood tilting. Two tilt-assist struts help to
tilt the hood open, and to return it to the operating
position. A damper controls the closing rate of the
hood and hood straps prevent the hood from over-
travel. In the operating position, the hood is secured
by a hold-down latch on each side of the hood.
To Tilt the Hood
1. Apply the parking brakes.
2. Release both hood hold-down latches by pulling
the ends outward.
CAUTION
Do not let the hood free-fall to the full-open posi-
tion. To do so could cause damage to the hood
or hood straps.
3. Using the bumper step and grab handle, slowly
tilt the hood until the straps support it. See
Fig. 2.8 .
To Return the Hood
1. Grasp the grab handle, and lift the hood a just-
over-center position.
2. As the hood goes over center, the hood damper
controls the rate of descent to the operating posi-
tion.
3.
Make sure the hood is flush with the cowl, then
secure the hood by engaging both hood hold-
down latches.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that both hold-down
latches are fully engaged before operating the
vehicle.
