Sleeper Safety Restraint

Always use the safety restraint when the
vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so not
only may cause severe injuries or death
to the passenger in the event of an acci-
dent but also poses a danger of injuries
to other occupants of the vehicle.

Anytime the vehicle is in motion, a pas-
senger using the sleeper bunk should be
strapped in using the safety restraint.
The top bunk should always be used
with the harness in place, whether the
vehicle is in motion or not. Falling from
the upper bunk can result in severe per-
sonal injury or death.

The restraint netting can be used for secur-
ing loose articles. Any loose articles that
can shift in the cab during hard cornering
or braking should be kept restrained.

W8000895

Fasten the restraint by connecting the
buckle with the latch. Make sure the belts
are not twisted. Test the latch connection
by pulling on the belt. If they come apart,
reconnect and test again. If the connection
can not be made, replace the belt before us-
ing the bunk for sleeping during driving.

To loosen the restraint, press the red release
button on the latch (1). Restraints should be
properly stored when not used. Having the
restraint laying loose in the cab can be a
source for unintentional snagging.
