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 cyl-
inders and velocity fuses should be serviced
by an authorized service center. Failure to
comply may result in death or personal in-
jury in the event the cab falls due to improp-
er 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 instructions.
Raising the Cab
An independent hydraulic system raises
and lowers the cab. A positive, dual-locking
device ensures safety and eliminates
danger of mishaps while driving.
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 in-
side 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).
6. Pump until the locking bar can be
positioned on the anchor mounted
below the right-hand cab support.
