1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General
The cab is equipped with a hydraulic tilting
mechanism. The pump is located on co-driver’s
side at the rear of the cab. The cab locks are
opened hydraulically during pumping.
Before tilting the cab, make sure that the doors
are closed, that there are no loose items in the
cab and that the gear lever is in neutral. Tilt the
cab fully forward if work must be carried out
underneath the cab.
You can stop the cab tilting forward
atanytimebyturningthetaptothe
reverse tilting position.
When working on a tilted cab (for
example when welding,
spray-painting or applying bitumen
coatings), be sure to cover the
piston rod of the lifting cylinder.
Welding spatter and paint on the
piston rod will inevitably cause
damage to the oil seal.
Inspection after a collision
Before tilting the cab after a collision, check the
cab rests, the cab hinges and the attachment of
the lifting cylinder to the chassis member and
cab for cracks.
If the vehicle has been involved in a
collision, the cab must under no
circumstances be tilted without due
precautions. The end stop in the
lifting cylinder may be damaged,
which might cause the cab to shoot
past its end stop.
If possible, suspend the cab in slings and put a
stand in front of the cab. Make sure that there is
no one in front of the cab while it is being tilted.
