3 Description and Operation
16
To Lower Cab
1. Move the cab tilt switch to the UP position and raise the
cab slightly until the safety prop is free from the top of the
tilt cylinder.
2. Pull the safety prop release cable to the rear and hold in
the rearward position.
3. Move the tilt switch to the DOWN position with the safety
prop disengaged and allow the cab to lower onto the rear
cab latch.
4. Hold the cab tilt switch in the DOWN position for 5 seconds
after the cab has come to rest on the lower latch units to
ensure that the mechanical cab latches are fully engaged.
Ensure that the cab latch is fully engaged after lowering
the cab. If the cab latch is not properly locked down, the
cab could tilt while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in
serious injury or death.
If a cab latch fails or the tilt system malfunctions, the
safety prop is designed to act as a secondary hold down.
Ensure that the release cable is operating freely and that
the safety prop rests against the tilt cylinder when the cab
is in the lowered and latched position. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
