EQUIPMENT& FURNISHINGS
PEDESTAL SEATS
Pedestal seats may have two types .of position con-
trols. The seat can be moved forward or back by
releasing the catch under the front .of the seat. The
seat may swivel in either direction by loosening the
twist· lock on the side of the pedestal base. When
optional arm rests are installed, they will fDld down
by lifting the arm rest, moving it fDrward and releas-
ing. To return the arm rest to position, reverse the
mDtion. Be certain that seat controls and locks are
secure prior to driving the vehicle and never adjust
the seat position while in motion.
SPRING-BALANCED BUNK BEDS
Spring·balanced overhead bunks (optional) are located
at the ceiling in the frDnt and/Dr rear. These are
mDved into position simply by placing both hands
on the center rim and pulling firmly dDwn and
forward (or down and back, fDr the rear bunk)
against cDunter-tensiDned springs. Be sure that fastener
straps prDvided tD hold the bunks in the UP position
are properly snapped when traveling. Assure that sun
visors are down and out of the way before moving the
front bunks down. When returning bunks to the
raised positiDn, be sure that no loose items which
may
strik~
