7.22 Cab Tilt Procedure
The ROPS/FOPS approved cab (1) tilts up
to allow easy access to components
while performing maintenance or service.
It is equipped with a gas spring assist
and a brace mechanism to hold it in
place while tilted.
To tilt the cab:
1. Remove any attachments that may
be fastened to the machine.
2. (Optional) Raise the lift arms and
secure them with the lift arm brace per section 5.14.
3. Remove the two bolts (item 2) that fasten the cab to the footwell. They are
located along the upper edge of the footwell inside the cab, one in each of
the front corners.
4. Once the bolts have been removed, ask an assistant to help you tilt the
cab slowly upwards. The cab brace (3) should fall onto the shoulder bolt (4)
locking the cab in its upright position.
Note: The force required to lift the cab exceeds 50 lb and requires at least 2 peo-
ple to safely tilt it (or the use of a suitable lifting apparatus).
The cab is now secure.
To lower the cab:
1. Raise the cab brace so that the locking channel is clear of the shoulder bolt.
2. Lower the cab (with help from the assistant) until the locking channel is
clear of the shoulder bolt then release the brace.
3. The cab is now free to be lowered into operating position.
4. Lower the cab completely and then fasten it to the footwell with the bolts
removed previously. Torque fasteners to: 138 lb. ft. (187 Nm).
5. Lower the lift arms (if raised) per section 5.14.
