ing it down could damage the panel.
1Preparation
•
Park the vehicle on a flat and level surface and
stop the engine.
Tilting the cab on a slope is dangerous since the
cab could swing up unexpectedly. This could
also damage the mechanism because of the
huge, sudden stresses on it.
• Prevent the vehicle from moving by pulling the
parking brake lever and blocking the wheels
with chocks.
• In a manual transmission vehicle, put the gear-
shift lever in the neutral position. In an automatic
transmission vehicle other than FM65F, put the
range selector lever in the “P” position. For
FM65F, put the range selector lever in the “N”
position.
• Remove water or other liquids from inside the
cab before tilting.
• Loose items left in the cab could fall and break
the windshield or other equipment. Take out or
safely stow all loose items before tilting the cab.
• Close both doors completely.
• At least 1 m (1 yard) is needed both in front of
and above the cab when the cab is tilted. If there
are obstacles within these 1 m (1 yard) spaces,
remove them.
