Cab Installation
WARNING
Always use suitable tools to align the cab
components and the transmission. DO NOT USE
HANDS OR FINGERS.

1. Install the cab to the transmission observing the

following points.
– Re–assembly follows the disassembly pro-
cedure in reverse.
– Adjust park brake as described in Section
7001.
– Remove all air from the service brake lines as
described in Section 7001.
– If fitted adjust the auto pickup hitch release
cable.
– Tighten all bolts to specified torque.
– Engine coolant – check the level and top–up
if required.
– Adjust cab suspension.

CAB SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT

On tractors with a suspended cab the spring
pre–load and hydraulic damping is set during
manufacture to provide a smooth ride for an operator
with a weight of 90kg (198 Ibs.). For operators of a
different weight, this setting may be adjusted.

Ride Height Setting

The pre–load adjuster is used to set the suspension

to a ’neutral’ position so vertical cab travel, both up
and down, is in balance. If the pre–load is too low
(soft) the bump stops below the cab may frequently
contact the chassis when travelling over rough
ground, if set too high (hard), cab upward movement
may be compromised.

The initial pre–load measurement (1), is 9mm

(0.35in.) and is measured between the lower edge of
the adjuster and the flat face on the threaded collar.

NOTE: To provide optimum suspension 32

performance, the weight of any heavy items (tow
chains, linkages, toolboxes etc.) should be included
in the calculation when adjusting the cab
suspension.

6– 66000 – 06 – 2002
12 SECTION 9001 – CAB

NOTE: Use only the special tools provided to carry

out any pre–load adjustment, using alternative
equipment may damage the adjuster components.
When increasing the pre–load, the top of the
adjuster must not extend beyond the top of the
threaded collar.
Using the special tool (1), hold the threaded collar to
prevent it from turning. Attach the adjusting tool (2)
so it engages fully with the pre–load adjuster and
adjust upwards or downwards as necessary. For
each 2mm (0.08in.) of vertical movement, the weight
factors are changed by approximately 10kg (22 Ibs.).

33
IMPORTANT: For correct suspension operation it is
vital that both suspension units are adjusted to the
same setting. An imbalance in adjustment will cause
unnecessary wear on the suspension units.

Adjusting the Damper Setting

The hydraulic damper may be adjusted to provide

two damping rates according to the weight of the
operator and any equipment carried in the cab.

Turning the screw (1) clockwise until fully in will apply

maximum damping effect to compensate for a
heavier load in the cab. Do not overtighten.

For a lighter weight in the cab, rotate the adjuster

anti–clockwise until screwed fully out.

IMPORTANT: Do not set the screw adjuster to an

intermediate setting as this will cause an imbalance 34
in damper operation. This may result in premature
wear of internal components within the suspension
unit.
