Start–Up Operating Instructions
– 8 – Y53-6008
Medium Duty (R10/06)
To help avoid personal injury due to a slip or fall:
• Use three points of contact (two feet, one hand or one
foot, two hands) to grip the steps or handholds whenever
possible and look where you are going.
• Use even more care when steps and handholds (or foot-
wear) are wet, coated with ice, snow, mud, oil, fuel, or
grease.
WARNING! Do not step on vehicle components
without antiskid surfaces or use components
not designed for entry-and-exit use. You could
fall and injure yourself if you step onto a slippery
surface. For example:
•Do not step onto the surface of a fuel tank. A
fuel tank is not a step. The tank surface can get
very slippery, and you might not be able to pre-
vent a fall. Use only the steps and handholds
provided, not chain hooks, quarter fenders, etc.
•Do not climb onto and off the deck plate—use
steps and grab handle provided. If there is no
deck plate, or if proper steps and grab handles
are not provided, do not climb onto the area
behind the cab.
•Keep steps clean. Clean any fuel, oil, or grease
off the steps before entering the cab or access-
ing the deck plate.
WARNING! Always reinstall the battery compart-
ment cover (step) before entering the cab. With-
out the battery cover you could slip and fall,
resulting in possible injury to yourself.
