13.1 TILTING THE CABIN
WARNING!
– Only tilt the cabin when the engine has stopped.
Several parts of the engine move when the engine is running. Coming
into contact with these moving parts can result in serious injury.
WARNING!
– Have a DAF Service dealer check the tilting mechanism after a
collision.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, under no circumstances
must the cabin be tilted without due precautions. The internal
mechanism of the lift cylinder may have been damaged to such an
extent that the cylinder is no longer locked by the internal stop collar.
There is a risk that the cabin could be in the unlocked tilt position. In
that case, there is a danger of the cabin no longer being held back and
falling forward to the ground. This can lead to dangerous situations
and serious injury.
WARNING!
– Make sure that there is no one in the cabin.
– Make sure that there is no one immediately in front of the cabin
during tilting and while tilted.
If there are people in or immediately in front of the cabin, the cabin
must under no circumstances be tilted. This can lead to serious injury.
WARNING!
– Always tilt the cabin fully forward when working under the cabin.
Working under a cabin that is not fully tilted is very dangerous. There
is a risk that the cabin could fall back, trapping the person working
underneath it. This can lead to dangerous situations and serious
injury.
CAUTION:
– Make sure that there is sufficient clearance around the cabin before
tilting it.
A tilted cabin needs sufficient space in front of and above the vehicle.
Tilting a cabin in a place without sufficient space may damage the
cabin and nearby objects.
