Tilting The Cab:
If you do not take the necessary
precautions and pay necessary attention
to the cab li ing procedures, this may
cause fatal accidents.
Before tilting the cab:
• Ensure that no one is standing in front of
the vehicle.
• Ensure that adequate space is available
in front of the vehicle.
Ensure that no freely moving objects are
available in the vehicle. Hard objects may
break the windshield when they fall while
the cab is being tilted.
Remove the coupling hoses from their
hangers before tilting the cab and do not
tilt the cab while the coupling hoses are
hanged.
CAUTION
Do not work under the cab before tilting
it completely. This brings a fatal accident
risk.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the cab uphill.
As the gradient of the slope acts to
move the cab in the closing direction,
this may cause risk for the person under
the cab. Always tilt the cab on a level
surface.
If the conditions require that the cab is
tilted on a slope, place a safety element
between the cab and chassis.
WARNING
Doors are heavy components; if the
doors are opened while the cab is tilted,
abrupt opening of the doors may cause
serious injuries. If the door should be
opened, it shall be opened by supporting
from the lower side and slowly.
Cab tilt cylinder is located under the cover
behind the step on the right side of the
vehicle.
Use the brace provided in the toolbox of
your vehicle to tilt the cab and then to
bring it to the driving position.
CAUTION
Always open the hood before tilting the
cab.
Do not open the doors while the cab is
tilted.
