25.

Remove overhead lift from clevis at top of cab.

WARNING

All personnel must stand clear of front of cab when safety prop is disconnected. As long as safety prop

remains disconnected, stay clear of front of cab. Failure to follow this warning could result in injury or death

to personnel.

DO NOT remove chain (34). Chain is to remain on tractor as long as safety prop is disconnected from cab.

RETURNING CAB TO 45-DEGREE TILT POSITION

WARNING

All personnel must stand clear of front of cab when safety prop is disconnected. As long as safety prop

remains disconnected, stay clear of front of cab. Failure to follow this warning could result in injury or

death to personnel.

DO NOT place body under cab when cab is supported only by overhead lift.

Use extreme caution when handling heavy parts. Provide adequate support and use assistance during

procedure. Ensure that any lifting device used is in good condition and of suitable load capacity. Keep

clear of heavy parts supported only by lifting device. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury

or death to personnel.

This procedure must be performed using an overhead lift that has minimum 3-ton capacity. Overhead

lift MUST have braking capability. As cab is returned to 45-degree tilt, cab is brought rearward beyond

its balance point. Without brakes, overhead lift could lose control of cab descent. Serious injury or death

to personnel and damage to equipment could result.

DO NOT use an A-frame as an overhead lift.

Ensure cab's rearward tilting movement is controlled at all times by overhead lift's braking capability.

Proceed slowly and with great caution. Failure to follow this warning could cause loss of control of cab,

resulting in injury or death to personnel and damage to cab.

NOTE

Depending on available lift, it may be advisable to rig a chain for overhead lift to BOTH lifting lug at top of

cab and to bottom right lifting lug.

Attach hook of overhead lift to clevis at lifting lug at top of cab.

Slowly lift and tilt cab rearward, using overhead lift. Alternate between lifting cab and moving overhead lift rearward as

cab's center of gravity shifts toward balance point.
