WARNING

to prevent a fall. Use only the steps
and handholds provided, and not
the chain hooks, quarter fenders,
or other components not designed
for that purpose.

plate, or if proper steps and grab
handles are not provided, do not
climb onto the area behind the cab.

Keep the steps clean. Clean any
fuel, oil, or grease off the steps
before entering the cab.
WARNING

ment

place, you could slip and fall, resulting
in possible injury to yourself.

with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Reg-
ulation 399.
