from moving. Assure that there is sufficient overhead
and side clearance for cab installation.

4. Attach a suitable overhead lifting device to the top of

the cab.

5. Carefully begin to lift and align the cab with the

mounting holes in the frame. Stop and check that
wiring, hydraulic hoses, cables, etc., will not be
pinched or damaged as the cab is positioned.
Readjust the position of the sling as needed to help
balance the cab during installation.

(1). Torque capscrews to 1,450 - 1,850 lb-ft
(1,966 - 2,508 Nm).

Check for hydraulic fluid leaks. Check the hydraulic
fluid level in the tank and add fluid as required.

Note: When the engine is initially started, run it briefly at
low idle and check the machine for any visual sign of
fluid leakage. STOP the engine immediately if any
leakage is noted, and make any necessary repairs
before continuing.
