STEERING WHEEL AND CONTROLS

STEERING WHEEL

out and adjust through a tilt angle to provide a com-
fortable wheel position for most operators.

HORN BUTTON

Horn button (2, Figure 32-2) is actuated by pushing
the button in the center of the steering wheel. Opera-
tion of the horn must 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.

TILT/TELESCOPE LEVER

The steering column can be telescoped or wheel
tilted with lever (3, Figure 32-2) in front of the turn
signal lever.
Adjust the tilt of the steering wheel by pulling the le-
ver toward the steering wheel and moving the wheel
to the desired angle. Releasing the lever will lock the
wheel in the desired location.
Adjust the telescope function by pushing the lever
forward to unlock. After positioning, release the lever
to the lock position.
