Operator Cab and Controls - Section 32 08/11 OM3212 Page 32-2 STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROLS Steering wheel (1, Figure 32-2) will telescope "in" and "out" and adjust at a tilt angle to provide a com- fortable wheel position for most operators. An indicator in the top, center of the instrument dis- play panel will illuminate to indicate the turning direc- tion that was selected. Refer to Instrument Panel And Indicator Lights. Moving the lever toward the steering wheel will change the high/low headlight beam. When high beams are selected, the indicator in the top, center of the instrument display panel will illuminate.
Horn Button Horn (2, Figure 32-2) is actuated by pushing the but- ton in the center of the steering wheel. Operation of the horn should be verified before moving the truck. Observe all local safety rules regarding the use of the horn as a warning signal device before starting the engine and moving the vehicle. Telescope lock ring (3, Figure 32-2) around the horn button locks/unlocks the telescoping function of the steering column. Rotating the ring* counterclockwise (LH rotation), releases the column to move "in" or "out". Rotating the ring clockwise (RH rotation), locks the column in the adjusted position. * DO NOT rotate the ring more than 90°!
Rotating in excess of 90° may cause damage to internal wiring! Telescope Lock Ring Tilt Wheel Lever Adjust the tilt angle of the steering wheel by pulling tilt adjustment lever (4, Figure 32-2) toward the steer- ing wheel and moving the wheel to the desired angle. Releasing the lever will lock the wheel in the desired location. FIGURE 32-2. STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROLS 1. Steering Wheel 2. Horn 3. Telescope Lock Ring 4. Tilt Wheel Lever 5. Turn Signal Lever 6.
