Cab and Covers
4.2 OPERATOR’S CAB
4.2.1 Operator’s Cab Description
The welded metal cab features a modular design, allowing
for a relatively quick, simple exchange of the entire cab
and/or component parts. The cab is bolted directly to the
frame.
The cab is available in either an open (standard) or
enclosed (optional) cab configuration. The enclosed cab
option includes a heater/window defroster system, and
windshield and roof window wipers.
The operator’s cab is a protective structure. The cab itself
contains rollover protective and falling object protective
structures (ROPS/FOPS) for the operator.
DO NOT weld, grind, drill, repair or modify the cab in any
way. Any modification or damage to cab structural
components requires cab replacement. The lives of the
operator and others are potentially at stake.
To help ensure optimum safety, protection and
performance, replace the cab if it is damaged. Refer to
the appropriate parts manual for ordering information.
The cab contains the seat, operating controls, numerous
panels, steering and brake components, and more.
Covers and mirrors on the vehicle exist for safety,
protection and appearance. They are relatively simple to
remove and replace.
4.2.2 Serial Number Decal
The cab serial number decal (1) is located on the left side
of the cab, behind the seat. Information specified on the
serial number plate includes the cab model number, the
cab serial number and other data. Write this information
down in a convenient location to use in cab
correspondence.
WARNING:
DO NOT service the vehicle
without following all safety precautions as
outlined in the “Safety Practices” section of this
manual. Failure to follow the safety practices
may result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
The protection offered by
this ROPS/FOPS will be impaired if subjected
to any modification or structural damage, at
which time replacement is necessary. ROPS/
FOPS must be properly installed using
fasteners of correct size and grade, and
torqued to their specified value.
