Repair (Latch Bar Plate Adjustment)
The position of the cab latch bar plate is important. When prop-
erly positioned, it relieves stress on the cab/deck assembly. To
properly position the cab latch bar plate, use this procedure.
1. Raise the cab and loosen all four nuts (1, 2) securing the
cab latch bar plate to the bottom of the cab deck.
2. With the plate loosened, lower the cab slowly ensuring the
latch bar properly seats in the hold down latch (3) at the top
of the suspension assembly.
3. Make adjustments (side-to-side, fore and aft) to center the
bar in the latch.
4. Tighten the two nuts (1) which are accessible at the outer
end (long end) of the cab latch bar plate.
5. Raise the cab and tighten all four (1, 2) cab latch bar plate
mounting nuts to specification.
6. Lower the cab and recheck the position of the bar in the
latch. Readjust if necessary.
