4. Manouver the special tool around the edge of the
glass, keeping the wire taut, to cut the adhesive seal.
Ensure the glass is supported adequately before
completing the cut.
5. If fitted, loosen mounting blocks to allow the glass to
be removed from window aperture. Remove the
mounting blocks if necessary.
6. Clean the remains of the adhesive from the edge of
the panel opening using a suitable solvent.
7. If removed, re-fit window mounting blocks, do not
tighten.
8. Coat the edge of the replacement glass with primer
and apply adhesive around the lip of the window
aperture, as per the manufacturers recommendations.
9. Position glass onto panel opening, pressing firmly so
that adhesive bonds sufficiently to allow the glass to
be moved or straightened up as required.
10. Ensuring the glass is adequately supported, allow
the sealing adhesive to set properly.
11. Clean off any excess adhesive using a suitable
solvent.
12. If necessary, tighten window mounting blocks.
Water Leaks
Test for leaks by directing a stream of water along the
adhesive seal, while an assistant marks the spot of
leakage inside the cab. Care should be taken to note
whether the leak is between adhesive and glass. Then
apply a sealing compound from the outside. Start from
a point near the leak and continue applying the sealer
until well beyond the suspected point of entry.
This should stop the leak immediately, but since some
sealing compounds should be allowed to set before
getting wet, wait a few minutes before testing.
17. Fill the cooling system with coolant specified in
Section 300-0020, LUBRICATION SYSTEM.
18. Connect electrical connections and cables in
reverse order to removal, with battery earth cable last.
19. Place the battery master switch in the 'On' position,
start the engine and check for leaks. Tighten fittings if
necessary. Allow engine to warm up and recheck all
connections for leaks. Ensure electrical systems and
gear shift are functioning properly.
20. Ensure parking brake is applied and remove wheel
blocks from all road wheels.
REPLACING GLASS
Note: When replacing broken glass, it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the replacement glass
meets the required specifications. Replacement glass
can be purchased from your dealer.
The rear glass, left and right hand side glasses and
front windscreen are held in place by a bonding
adhesive. The rear glass and right hand side glass also
have two mounting blocks to support the glass.
To replace a glass assembly, proceed as follows:
Note: Ensure the glass is supported adequately before
starting to cut the adhesive seal.
1. Using a pointed tool, pierce a hole in the adhesive seal,
it is advisable to start at the top edge of the glass.
Unscrew one handle of the special tool and feed the wire
through the opening. Pierce a second hole in the adhesive
on the side directly opposite the first.
2. From inside the cab pull the wire through and feed it
back out through the second hole.
3. Re-fit the handle on the special tool. Pull both
handles outwards until wire is taut.
