velocity fuses have locked up the tilt cylinders;
unlock them.
WARNING
Make sure the tilt strut is pushed down onto the
right tilt-cylinder rod. If the tilt strut is not en-
gaged, and the cab drops, the result could be seri-
ous injury or death.
5.
When the cab reaches a 30-degree angle, stop
working the pump. Push the free end of the tilt
strut down onto the right tilt-cylinder rod. See
Fig. 5
. The tilt strut prevents the cab from acci-
dently dropping below this position.
6.
To tilt the cab all the way, continue working the
pump until the cab nears a 45-degree angle. Re-
duce pumping speed. Once the cab goes beyond
45 degrees, stop working the pump. The cab will
gently descend to a full-tilt position. To stop the
cab at any position between 45-degrees and full-
tilt, move the control lever to "Lower."
IMPORTANT: If the cab unintentionally stops
after it has gone beyond 45 degrees, do not
force it down with the tilt pump. The velocity
fuses have locked the tilt cylinders; unlock them.
Returning the FLB Cab from
the Tilted Position
DANGER
Stay completely clear of the cab’s travel path at all
times. Once the tilt strut has been released, do
not lean over the frame rails, the engine, or the
transmission for any reason. To do so could result
in serious injury or death.
1.
Move the tilt strut away from the right tilt-cylinder
rod, and lock it in the spring catch.
If the cab was tilted less than 45 degrees, raise it
enough to release the tilt strut. Move the tilt strut
away from the tilt-cylinder rod, and lock it in the
spring catch before lowering the cab. See
Fig. 6
