Put one hand on the hood handle (just above the Peterbilt
emblem), one foot on the bumper, and one foot on the
ground. Tilt the hood forward until you hear it “lock”.
WARNING! If the hood falls, anyone under it
could be injured. Always make sure the lock is
engaged to keep your hood open any time any-
one gets under the hood for any reason. Never
work under the hood unless the hood safety lock
is engaged.
To close the hood, you must first release the hood safety
lock.
WARNING! Before closing the hood, be sure the
area is clear—no people or objects are in the
way.
CAUTION: To avoid hood damage when closing
the hood, firmly squeeze the handle to release
the hold-open lock.
