Start–Up Operating Instructions 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 slip- pery, 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. 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. 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.
