After turning the key to the “OFF”
position, remove the key and allow
sufficient time for the vehicle to cool
down completely.
Raise the cab in accordance with
the following safety precautions and
procedures.

Due to the danger of sustaining
personal injury and/or damage to the
vehicle, never attempt to raise the
cab outdoors under extremely windy
conditions. Strong wind conditions
could force the cab beyond the normal
limits of its travel. Never rely on the
hydraulic pressure to hold the cab in
an open position. Always use the safety
pin in the cab tilt lock tube to prevent
serious personal injury or death.

Remove or secure all loose articles
and close all doors before raising the
cab. The area above and ahead of the
cab must be clear from obstructions.
Place front wheels in a straight ahead
position.
Remove the pump handle from its
storage on the inside of the cab near the
driver or passenger seat.
Place the selector lever on the hydraulic
pump in the RAISE position. Insert the
pump handle into the pump and operate
the handle in an up and down motion.
The hydraulic cab latches will open,
then the hydraulic cylinders will lift the
cab until the midpoint (top) is reached.
Once the cab has reached its midpoint
the cab will move forward to the fully
open position. The safety pin in the cab
tilt lock device must be installed when
the holes line up in the sliding bar.
Remove the pump handle when not in
use. It may stick out and could cause
injury to passersby.
