PLATE 2H9147 - Caterpillar

1. Before the cab is lowered, be sure the lever on the governor and the governor control lever in the cab are both in the "FUEL OFF" position.2. Use this procedure to lower the cab to the 24° position if the machine has a ROPS or cab, and an overhead hoist is available. a. Fasten an overhead hoist to tooling (A) on the side of the cab. b. Remove bolt (1) from the plate and bracket on the front of the cab. c. As the cab is lowered, hold bar (3) for the governor control in alignment with tube (2) so the bar will slide into the tube. d. Lower the cab until bolts (5) can be installed in the support bracket.e. Install pin (4) in the rod end of the cylinder jack.f. Remove tooling (A) from the cab, and install the original bolt in the cab. Tighten bolts to a torque of 360 50 kg (265 35 lb.ft.). 3. Use this procedure to lower the cab to the 24° position if the machine has a ROPS or cab and an overhead hoist is not available.a. On earlier style cabs with lifting eyes, fasten tooling (B) and a hoist to the cab and the bucket levers as shown. Later style cabs do not have lifting eyes. The link brackets from tooling (E) are installed in the air conditioner mounting bosses. Install tooling (E). In both cases, fasten tooling (C) to the rear of the cab.
Do not lower the cab beyond the 24° position with tooling (B) or (E). Tooling (B) or (E) will be overloaded and a failure of the tooling will permit the cab to fall which can cause personal injury. To prevent injury, never lower the cab beyond the 24° position with tooling (B) or (E).
b. Remove bolt (1) from plate and bracket. Use tooling (B) or (E) and (C) to lower the cab to the 24° position. c. As the cab is lowered, hold bar (3) for the governor control in alignment with tube (2) so the bar will slide into the tube. d. Lower the cab until bolts (5) can be installed in the support bracket. Remove tooling (C). e. Put rod end (6) of the jack in position on the cab, and install the pin. Remove tooling (B).
Typical Example4. Use this procedure to lower the platform to the 24° position if the machine does not have a ROPS or cab.a. Fasten tooling (D) to the platform and the bucket levers.b. Install tooling (A) and the overhead hoist. Lift the hoist so the chain to tooling (A) is tight. c. Use tool (D) to pull the platform forward so bolt (1) can be removed from the plate and bracket. Release tool (D) so the overhead hoist holds the weight of the platform.
Do not use tooling (D) to lower the platform. The platform in the lower position will overload the tooling and cause a failure which will permit the cab to fall. To
