4.5 CAB REMOVAL
IMPORTANT: To help ensure safety and optimum
performance, replace the cab if it is damaged. Refer to
the appropriate parts manual for ordering information.
Before performing any inspection, maintenance or
service operation, thoroughly clean the vehicle. DO NOT
spray water or cleaning solution in, on, near or around the
operator’s dash panels and electrical components.
Inspect the cab, its welds and mounts. If modification,
damage, a cracked weld and/or fatigued metal is
discovered, replace the cab. Contact the Sky Trak
distributor or the JLG Service Department at
1-877-554-5438 or 1-717-485-6657, with any questions
about the suitability or condition of a cab.
IMPORTANT: Remove and label cab components as
needed before removing the cab from the vehicle. Label,
disconnect and cap hydraulic hoses. Transfer cab parts
to the replacement cab after the replacement cab is
securely mounted on the vehicle.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Allow
sufficient overhead and side clearance for cab
removal. Level the vehicle, ground the attachment,
place the travel select lever in the (N) NEUTRAL
position, place the neutral lock lever in the
NEUTRAL LOCK position, engage the parking brake
switch and shut the engine OFF.
2. Unlock and open the rear door. Allow the engine and
hydraulic fluid to cool.
3. Disconnect the battery negative (-) cable or cables at
the battery negative (-) terminal.
Note: Steps 4 thru 8 apply to vehicles equipped with
optional heater (enclosed cab models only). If your
vehicle does not have the optional heater, proceed to
Step 9.
4. Place a suitable container beneath the radiator drain
plug or petcock (24). Slowly turn the radiator cap
(not shown) to the first stop, and allow any pressure
to escape. Remove the radiator cap.
5. Place a funnel at the base of the radiator to channel
the drained coolant into the container. Open the
radiator drain plug or petcock (24) located on the
right side or the right side bottom of the radiator and
allow the coolant to drain. Replace the drain plug, or
close the petcock.
6. Transfer the coolant to a container with a cover, and
label as “Used Antifreeze.” Dispose of the used
coolant at an approved recycling facility.

personal injury. NEVER modify, weld or drill
the cab.
