The risk
In the area of the exhaust gas turbo charger, the hydraulic piping installed for the cab tilting equipment is too short, and situated too close to the exhaust gas turbo charger. The pipes could therefore be damaged by heat and/or start to leak. A damaged pipe may cause a tilted cab to tilt back inadvertently. Furthermore, a leaking pipe can result in oil from the hydraulic system of the cab leaking and catching fire upon contact with the hot parts of the exhaust gas turbo charger.
