MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Driver Cab

Tilting The Cab: If you do not take the necessary precautions and pay necessary attention to the cab lifting procedures, this may cause fatal accidents. Before tilting the cab: • Ensure that no one is standing in front of the vehicle. • Ensure that adequate space is available in front of the vehicle. Ensure that no freely moving objects are available in the vehicle. Hard objects may break the windshield when they fall while the cab is being tilted.

CAUTION Do not work under the cab before tilting it completely. This brings a fatal accident risk.

CAUTION

Do not tilt the cab uphill. As the gradient of the slope acts to move the cab in the closing direction, this may cause risk for the person under the cab. Always tilt the cab on a level surface. If the conditions require that the cab is tilted on a slope, place a safety element between the cab and chassis. WARNING Doors are heavy components; if the doors are opened while the cab is tilted, abrupt opening of the doors may cause serious injuries. If the door should be opened, it shall be opened by supporting from the lower side and slowly.

Cab tilt cylinder is located under the cover behind the step on the right side of the vehicle. Use the brace provided in the toolbox of your vehicle to tilt the cab and then to bring it to the driving position. CAUTION Always open the hood before tilting the cab. Do not open the doors while the cab is tilted.

Remove the coupling hoses from their hangers before tilting the cab and do not tilt the cab while the coupling hoses are hanged.
