To Tilt Cab

In most cases, the cab tilt control switch is located on the left-
hand frame rail (Figure 2). The safety prop release cable is
located on the left-hand rail, within reach of the tilt switch.

Ensure that no part of the body is under the cab while
tilting. Stand clear of the rear of the cab and ensure that
the cab does not strike you when it is being raised. Failure
to do so can lead to serious injury or death.
Ensure that the safety prop is properly engaged before
working under the cab. The safety prop must be able to
move freely to engage automatically. Always check the
safety prop before working under the cab and make sure
to properly maintain this important safety system. Failure
to do so can result in serious injury or death.
1. Locate the cab tilt control switch and safety prop release
cable.
2. Pull the safety prop release cable and hold the cable to the
rear.
3. While holding the cable to the rear, move the tilt control
switch to the UP position.
4. After the cab has traveled about 15 inches (381 mm),
release the safety prop cable and continue tilting the cab.
5. As the cab approaches the 45-degree position, watch for
the safety prop to drop over the tilt cylinder on the driver's
side of the frame. (Figure 3 and Figure 4) STOP!
6. After the safety prop has dropped over the cylinder, move
the tilt control switch to the DOWN position (Figure 2) and
lower the cab slightly until the safety prop rests fully on the
top of the tilt cylinder (Figure 3).
7. Make sure that the safety prop is resting properly on top of
the tilt cylinder. Pull on the safety prop release cable and
ensure that the safety prop is secure. It should not move
with the weight of the cab on the prop.
