Cleaning & General Maintenance
For best results, and to maintain the finish of the
KW450, clean or wash the weather cab to remove
dirt, gravel, and salt deposits. Remove any ice or
snow accumulations from the roof, windows, and
accessories.
Attention
To maintain the finish of the weather cab and acces
-
sories, thoroughly wash the equipment after each
use to remove any corrosive agents (e.g., salt). Fail-
ure to clean the equipment may result in corrosion
of (including but not limited to) steel, aluminum, and
electrical components. Equipment that will experi-
ence repeated exposure to corrosive agents should
be pretreated with a corrosion preventative.
Seatbelt Upper Mount Adjustment
The seatbelt upper mount has four seatbelt mount-
ing positions. The seatbelt is mounted in the second
position at the factory.

If the seatbelt
cannot be tight-
ened enough to
properly secure
the operator,
move the seat-
belt anchors to
the first position
on the seatbelt
upper mount.
If the seatbelt
cannot be loos-
ened enough to fit the operator, move the seatbelt
anchors down to the third or fourth position on the
seatbelt upper mount.
Window Latch Adjustment
The window latch pins can be
adjusted if the windows do not
close properly.
If the window does not seal
correctly, loosen the nut on the
window latch pin and move away
from the window slightly.
If the window latch is hard to close, move the win-
dow latch pin toward the window slightly.
Door Latch Adjustment
If the door does not latch properly, the latch pin can
be adjusted. If the latch pin and door latch are mis-
aligned vertically, loosen the nut on the back of the
latch pin (A) and move the latch pin up or down until
properly aligned with the door latch.

If the door does not latch because the latch pin
is set too deep or if the door latches but does not
seal properly, loosen the 2) latch plate bolts (B) and
move the latch plate in or out to the proper depth.
NOTE: Check the lower door window for proper
adjustment prior to changing latch pin depth.
Lower Door Window Adjustment
Check the bottom of the lower door window where it
meets the left cab front support.
If there is a gap between the lower door window and
the cab front support when the main door is sealed,
the lower door window needs to be adjusted inward.
If the lower door window hits the cab front support
too soon, it can prevent the cab door from latching
or

sealing properly. The lower door window needs to
be adjusted outward.
Loosen the 2) bolts (A) at
the top of the lower door
window support (B). Move
the bottom of the lower
door window in or out until
proper position is reached.
Retighten the bolts on the
lower door window support.
Door Latch Lubrication
Lubricate the door latch mechanism every 50 hours
with a spray lube or light weight oil. Use a cloth to
protect the window glass from the spray and wipe off
any excess oil to prevent dripping.
