document. A list of the parts included in the kit is provided at the end of the document.
The following special tools are required:
• Hydraulic jack (or EnerPac
®
type lifting device
• Block of wood (2 x 4 x 5 in. [51 x 102 x 127 mm])
Installation Instructions
NOTES:
• In these instructions, right and left are determined from the windrower operator’s position, facing
forward with the windrower in cab-forward position.
• Unless otherwise noted, use the standard torque values provided in the windrower operator’s
manual or technical manual.
To install the Cab Isolation kit, follow these steps:
Replacing Front Shock Mounts
NOTE: Shocks and shock mounts must be removed one at a time.
1. Place a small hydraulic jack (A) on the tubular
axle frame near the side of the cab as shown
at right.
2. Insert a block of wood (B) between the floor of
the cab and the top of the bottle jack in order to
distribute the force of the bottle jack through a
larger surface of the cab floor.
3. Remove 1/2 in. flange lock nut on bolt (A). DO
NOT remove bolt at this time as the shock is still
under load.
4. Using the hydraulic jack, lift the cab until lower
shock bolt (A) is loose.
