The issue
IMPROPER USE OF THE CAB TILT SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN BUCKLING OF THE TILT CYLINDERS. THIS CAN OCCUR IF THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTS TO LOWER THE CAB BY CONTINUED PUMPING DOWN OF THE SYSTEM WITHOUT RELEASING THE SAFETY LATCH OR AFTER A TILT CYLINDER VELOCITY FUSE HAS LOCKED-UP. IF BUCKLING OCCURS, THE CAB MAY DROP TO ITS LOWERED POSITION. CORRECTION: 1 1/2" DIAMETER TILT CYLINDERS WILL BE REPLACED WITH 2" DIAMETER CYLINDERS.
