1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 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.
Always tilt the cab fully forward if work must be
carried out underneath the cab.
}
You can stop the cab tilting forward
at any time by turning the cock of the
cab tilting pump to the 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 from a hoist and
place a stand in front of the cab. Also make sure
that there is no one in front of the cab while it is
being tilted.
