Bunk Restraint Operation (Fig. 2.16) On vehicles equipped with a sleeper compartment, bunk restraints should be used whenever the sleeper compartment is occupied and the vehicle is moving. Restraints are designed to lessen the chance of injury or the amount of injury resulting from accidents or sud- den stops. For this reason, Freightliner LLC urges the use of bunk restraints when the sleeper compartment is occupied in a moving vehicle. WARNING Do not use the upper bunk while the vehicle is in motion unless a bunk restraint is installed and used.
Not using the bunk restraint increases the chance of injury or the degree of injury from acci- dents or sudden stops to all occupants in the ve- hicle. WARNING 1. Starting at the foot of the bunk, pull up the link end of the belt far enough to engage the buckle. Always use the bunk restraints when the sleeper compartment is occupied in a moving vehicle. Fail- ure to do so increases the chance of injury or the degree of injury from accidents or sudden stops to all occupants in the vehicle. 2. Fasten the belt by pushing the link end into the buckle until they latch. Make sure that the belt is not twisted. Check the engagement by trying to pull the link out of the buckle.
If they come apart, repeat this step. If the problem continues, replace the belt. 2.16
