2.1 CAB SUSPENSION

The cab is attached to the chassis at four
different points. There are several types of cab
suspension.

Rubber and spring suspension.
All models use springs for rear suspension. Both
rubber and spring suspension are used at the
front. If the vehicle uses rubber suspension at
the front, a cab stabiliser is not fitted.

Spring suspension
The cab is attached to the chassis with front and
rear coil spring elements. These elements
cannot be adjusted. There is a cab stabiliser at
the front.

Do not tilt the cab if the stabiliser
has been removed.
