4.4 CAB REMOVAL
Note: To help ensure safety and optimum performance,
replace the cab if it is damaged. Refer to the appropriate
parts manual for ordering information.
Inspect the cab, its welds and mounts. If modification,
damage, a cracked weld and/or fatigued metal is
discovered, replace the cab. Contact the local distributor
with any questions about the suitability or condition of a
cab.
Note: Remove and label cab components as needed
before removing the cab from the machine. Label,
disconnect and cap hydraulic hoses. Transfer cab parts
to the replacement cab after the replacement cab is
securely mounted on the machine.
1. Park the machine on a firm, level surface. Allow
sufficient overhead and side clearance for cab
removal. Level the machine, fully retract the boom,
lower the boom, place the travel select lever in the
(N) NEUTRAL position, engage the park brake and
shut the engine OFF.
2. Block all four wheels to help prevent the machine
from moving. Assure that there is sufficient overhead
and side clearance for cab removal.
3. Open the rear door. Allow the system fluids to cool.
4. Properly disconnect the battery.
Note: Steps 5 thru 10 apply to machines equipped with
cab heater.
5. Place a suitable container beneath the radiator drain
plug or petcock. Slowly turn the radiator cap to the
first stop and allow any pressure to escape. Remove
the radiator cap.
6. Place a funnel at the base of the radiator to channel
the drained coolant into the container. Loosen the
drain plug or petcock and allow the coolant to drain.
7. Transfer the coolant to a container with a cover, and
label as “Used Antifreeze.” Dispose of the used
coolant at an approved recycling facility.
8. Close the radiator drain plug or petcock.
