WARNING
Tilt the cab by using the equipment
provided
on the vehicle or by a hoist
with sufficient capacity. Tilting the cab
with an improvised prop is an unsafe
practice. Failure to use the proper cab
tilting equipment may lead to death or
personal injury.
WARNING
DO NOT tamper with any component
of
the cab tilt system. The hydraulic
hoses, tilt cylinders and velocity fuses
should be serviced by an authorized
service center. Failure to comply may
result in death or personal injury in the
event the cab falls due to improper
service of the tilt system.
NOTE
In case of oil loss in the system or a
lockup
in the tilt cylinders, refer to the
maintenance manual for repair instruc-
tions.
Raising the Cab
WARNING
Always ensure the locking safety bar is
fully
engaged before getting under a
fully tilted cab. Failure to engage the
locking bar may result in the cab falling
which may result in death or personal
injury.
CAUTION
Remove heavy items and secure any
loose items inside the cab before tilting
the
cab. Heavy items can damage the
tilt mechanism and loose items can
damage equipment inside the cab.
The following cab tilting instructions are
labelled and installed on the base of the
companion seat:
1.
Park the vehicle on a level surface
and turn the tires straight forward.
2. Secure or remove all loose items in
the cab. Close all doors.
3. Check the clearance above and
ahead of the cab. Ensure there will
be enough room to clear roof
antennae when you tilt the cab.
Check for obstructions overhead
(branches, power lines, lights, etc.)
and in front (walls, work benches,
other vehicles, etc.).
4.
Place the control valve handle in
the "Raise" position. Handle in
"Raise" Position.
5. Attach pump handle to the pump
and pump to raise the cab (the
latch hooks will release
automatically when pump is
actuated).
