CAB DOOR ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 3-2 for the following procedure.

General

The cab door damper prevents the cab door from slamming
open or closed. This is especially critical when the cab is
tilted at an angle other than horizontal.

Closing Cab Door

To properly close the cab door:
1. Slide cab door to closed position, but don't latch it. This
releases hydraulic pressure in damper.
2. Open cab door approximately 9 in (22 cm).
3. Slide cab door fully closed and latch.
