CAB AND FRAME ACCESS 02611 • Use even more care when steps and handholds (or footwear) are wet, coated with ice, snow, mud, oil, fuel, or grease. WARNING! Always reinstall the battery compartment cover (step) before entering the cab. Without the battery cover you could slip and fall, resulting in possible injury to yourself. 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 prevent 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 accessing the deck plate. NOTE: Any alteration (adding bulkheads, headache racks, tool boxes, etc.) behind the cab that affects the utilization of grab handles, deck plates, or frame access steps installed by Peterbilt should comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation 399. – 10 – Y53-6008A Medium Duty (R05/09)
ENGINE ACCESS HOOD HOLD DOWNS AND TILT Engine Access Hood Hold Downs and Tilt The hood is locked in its closed position by an external latch on each side. These latches serve as hold downs and keep the hood from opening unexpectedly. CAUTION: If you do not latch the hood securely, it could open during operation and cause vehicle damage. Be sure to latch the hood securely before moving the vehicle. WARNING! A pivoting hood could hurt someone or be damaged itself. Before opening or closing the hood, be sure there are no people or objects in the way. To open the hood, unlatch both of the hood hold downs. UNLATCHED Medium Duty (R05/09) Y53-6008A – 11 –
