STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROLS

The steering wheel (1, Figure 3-2) will telescope "in"
and "out" and adjust through a tilt angle to provide a
comfortable wheel position for most operators.
HORN BUTTON
The horn (2, Figure 3-2) is actuated by pushing the
button in the center of the steering wheel. Operation
of the horn should be verified before moving the
truck. Observe all local safety rules regarding the use
of the horn as a warning signal device before starting
engine and moving the vehicle.
TELESCOPE LOCK RING
The Telescope Lock Ring (3, Figure 3-2) 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 posi-
tion.
TILT WHEEL LEVER
Adjust the tilt of the steering wheel by pulling the tilt
adjustment lever (4, Figure 3-2) toward the steering
wheel and moving the wheel to the desired angle.
Releasing the lever will lock the wheel in the desired
location.
TURN SIGNAL / HEADLIGHT DIMMER
The Turn Signal Lever (5, Figure 3-2) is used to acti-
vate turn signal lights and to select either high or low
headlight beams.
• 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 &
INDICATOR LIGHTS.
• Move the lever downward to signal a
turn to the left.
• Moving the lever toward the steering
wheel changes Headlight beam. When
high beams are selected, the indicator
in the top, center of the instrument
panel will illuminate.
