Operation - Section 3 OM3214 Page 32-2 Operator Cab and Controls STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROLS The steering wheel (1, Figure 32-2) will telescope IN and OUT and adjust through a tilt angle to provide a comfortable wheel position for most operators. MULTI-FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL SWITCH HORN BUTTON The horn (2, Figure 32-2) is actuated by pushing the button in the center of the steering wheel. Operation of the horn should be verified before moving the truck.

MULTI-FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL SWITCH Multi-function turn signal switch (5, Figure 32-2) is used to activate the turn signal lights, the windshield wipers, and to select either high or low beam head- lights. TELESCOPE LOCK RING The Telescope Lock Ring (3, Figure 32-2) around the horn button locks/unlocks the telescoping function of the steering column. Rotating the ring 90° - 180° counterclockwise (L.H. rotation), releases the column to move IN or OUT. Rotating the ring clockwise (R.H. rotation), locks the column in the adjusted position. TURN SIGNAL OPERATION Move the lever upward to signal a turn to the right.
An indicator in the top, center of the instrument panel will illuminate to indicate turn direction selected. Refer to Instrument Panel and Indicator Lights in this section. Move the lever downward to signal a turn to the left. Note: The turn signal will not automatically stop after turn has been completed. HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHT OPERATION Moving the lever inward toward the rear of the cab changes the headlights to high beam. When the high beams are selected, the indicator in the top, center of the instrument panel will illuminate. Moving the switch back to the original position will return the headlights to low beam. WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION Windshield wipers off.
