BODIES AND CABS
CAB REMOVAL
The removal of the S-Series cab from chassis can be
performed providing an overhead crane and cab lifting fixture

models depending on type of equipment and accessories.
The following steps may be used as a guide.

2.
Tilt or remove hood.
3.
Disconnect battery ground cable.
4.
Drain radiator and disconnect heater hose.
5.

11. Disconnect air conditioning lines (if so equipped).
12. Remove shift lever from transmission.
13. Detach exhaust system from cab if system is vertical
type.
14. Install cab lifting fixture. Make sure fixture is padded
to prevent damage to cab.
15. Remove cab to frame stay rods.
16. Partially lift cab so cab weight will be supported on

17. Remove cab to frame mounting bolts and nuts at
front and rear locations.
CAUTION
Inspect all cab to frame attaching points to be
sure they are disconnected or damage can
result.
18. Carefully lift cab from chassis.
CAB INSTALLATION
Cab installation is the reverse of the foregoing removal
procedure. No special adjustment is required for cab to frame
mounting bolts and nuts other than the application of specified
torques. Connect all wiring harnesses, plumbing and
controls. Start engine and check all systems and controls
before returning truck to service.
LUBRICATION
Cab hardware and other mechanisms require a periodic
application of lubricant to increase service life and prevent
objectionable squeaking. New cabs are lubricated at factory
and before they are delivered to customer. After the cab is
placed in service, regular lubricating intervals based on type
of service should be established. Thorough lubrication at
definite intervals adds greatly to cab service life and reduces
overall expense.
For specified lubrication intervals refer to Operator's
Manual. For those special items requiring attention and a
particular type of lubricant, refer to LUBRICATION section,
CTS-2412 in the Service Manual.
Wipe off all lubricant points before applying new lube to
prevent lube contamination. Apply lube sparingly and wipe
away excess.
