Cab Door Locks and Handles

One key operates the ignition switch and all of the
door locks.
IMPORTANT: Each key is numbered. Record
the number so a duplicate key can be made, if
needed.
To unlock the driver's door from outside the cab, in-
sert the key in the lockset and turn it one-quarter turn
clockwise (Fig. 2.1). To remove the key, turn it coun-
terclockwise to its original position. Pull out on the
door pull handle to open the door.
