CAB DOOR ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 3-2 for the following procedure.
General
The cab door damper prevents the cab door from slamming
open or closed. This is especially critical when the cab is
tilted at an angle other than horizontal.
Closing Cab Door
To properly close the cab door:
1. Slide cab door to closed position, but don’t latch it. This
releases hydraulic pressure in damper.
2. Open cab door approximately 9 in (22 cm).
3. Slide cab door fully closed and latch.
Damper Adjustment
See Figure 3-2 for the following procedure.
1. Adjust cab tilt to level position.
2. Remove pin (3).
3. Swing damper (1) with rod end (4) away from cab door
(6).
4. Pull piston rod (2) out to fully extended position.
a. While pulling on rod (2), turn it clockwise (looking at
rod end) approximately four full turns until it stops.
This is maximum damper pressure setting.
b. While pulling on rod (2), turn it counterclockwise
(looking at rod end) approximately four full turns
from maximum to minimum damper pressure
setting. This is pressure setting that is
recommended.
5. Reconnect rod end (4) to cab door (6).
NOTE: It may take several trial and error adjustments to
obtain desired damping.
