PART 3: GETTING TO YOUR ENGINE
PB1319 (CAT. NO. 5296 ) —8— 22-01691 (R02/02)
Cab Tilting
Raising the Cab
An independent hydraulic system raises and lowers the cab. A posi-
tive, dual-locking device ensures safety and eliminates danger of mis-
haps while driving.
The following cab tilting instructions are labelled and installed on the
base of the companion seat:
WARNING! You can be seriously injured by the cab if
you do not follow safety precautions. Whenever you
raise, lower, or work under the cab, please remember
the following safety rules:
•
Be sure no one is under the front of the cab. Whether
you are raising or lowering the cab, KEEP CLEAR.
•
Perform work only with the cab in the full tilt position
with the locking bar engaged.
•
To avoid possible damage or serious injury
- Never allow a cab door to fall open with the cab tilted.
- Never use a cab door to support your weight with the
cab tilted.
•
When a cab hydraulic system needs service or repair:
- Have maintenance and repair done only by someone
qualified in hydraulic systems.
- Be sure no one tries to bleed the system with the cab
raised. This will defeat the safety system. The cab
can fall and crush anyone under it.
- Never work under a raised cab unless it is properly
supported. This means using an overhead hoist of
sufficient capacity to support the cab safely. Never
prop the cab up instead of using a hoist. The prop
could fail and let the cab fall on you or anyone else
working under it.
- Do not tamper with any part of the cab tilt cylinders,
including removing the velocity fuses. To do so will
defeat their purpose. The cab could fall and crush
anyone under it. If you have any need for repair
involving the velocity fuses, have a qualified truck
mechanic do the work.
NOTE: In case of oil loss in the system or a lock-up in the tilt
cylinders, refer to the maintenance manual for repair instruc-
tions.
