Installing complete cab

}

When working on the cab 
suspension provide extra supports 
for the cab to avoid the risk of being 
trapped.

1.

Fit the hoist yoke.

2.

Before placing the cab on the chassis 
supports check to see if the wiring holes in 
the aluminium chassis are accessible. This 
makes the work easier.

3.

Check that the contact surfaces of the 
stabiliser bearing brackets and the chassis 
supports are clean.

4.

Check that the gear lever is in 2

nd

 or 4

th

 gear.

5.

Place the cab above the chassis and lower it 
carefully onto the chassis supports. Check 
that the wiring harnesses and any piping do 
not get trapped.

6.

Position the stabiliser bearing brackets in 
relation to the chassis supports.

7.

Fit the attachment bolts (2), (3) and (4) on the 
right-hand side of the vehicle. Tighten the 
bolts but not yet to the specified torque.

8.

Tighten the attachment bolts (3) and (4) to 
the specified torque. See "Technical data".

9.

Fit the attachment bolts (2), (3) and (4) on the 
left-hand side of the vehicle but do not yet 
tighten these bolts to the specified torque. 
The stabiliser bearing bracket must still be 
able to move.

10. Position the lift cylinder and fit the bolt. 

Tighten the bolt to the specified torque. See 
"Technical data".

Note:
Before fitting the prestressed bolt check that 
the threaded hole in the aluminium chassis 
bracket has a screw thread.

on the rear to the specified torque. See 
"Technical data".

16. On the left side place the bolt (1). Fit the bolts 

(1), (2), (3) and (4) of the stabiliser bearing 
support in the specified order and to the 
specified torque. See "Technical data".
