Repair (Cylinder Removal)
1. Raise the cab using the cab tilt system.
NOTE
If unable to raise the cab using the cab tilt system due
to component failure, use the following steps to raise
the cab.
a. Release the cab latch by supplying hydraulic pres-
sure to the latch mechanism. This can be done by
engaging the cab tilt pump or, if the pump is not
functioning, by attaching a small hand or electric
pump to the hydraulic line for the latch.
b. Secure an overhead hoist to the rear of the cab
and raise the cab to its full-tilt position.
2. Place a safety bar between the bottom of the deck and the
frame in a manner that prohibits the safety bar from slip-
ping.
3. Using the cab tilt switch (or overhead hoist, if necessary),
lower the cab until it rests on the safety bar and all pressure
is removed from the cylinder.
4. Clean the area around the hose fitting on the pump with
compressed air to reduce the possibility of contamination.
5. Position a catch can under the fitting to prevent spills.
6. Remove the hydraulic line from the cylinder.
7. Plug or cap the hose end to prevent contamination; secure
the line above the frame rail to prevent loss of hydraulic
fluid.

1. The hydraulic fluid in the system is under
pressure. Care should be taken whenever the
system is opened. Loosen fittings slightly and
allow pressure to bleed off before removing
hoses.
2. Safety glasses must be worn when working on the
hydraulic system.
3. Use a safety strut to hold the cab in the raised
position when the cylinder is removed.
