SERVICE
Cleaning and General Maintenance
For best results, and to maintain the finish of the
KW452, clean or wash the weather cab to remove
dirt, gravel, and salt deposits. Remove any ice or
snow accumulations from the roof, windows, and
accessories.
Attention
To maintain the finish of the weather cab and acces
-
sories, thoroughly wash the equipment after each
use to remove any corrosive agents (e.g., salt). Fail-
ure to clean the equipment may result in corrosion
of (including but not limited to) steel, aluminum, and
electrical components. Equipment that will experi-
ence repeated exposure to corrosive agents should
be pretreated with a corrosion preventative.
Seatbelt Upper Mount Adjustment
The seatbelt upper mount has four seatbelt mount-
ing positions. The seatbelt is mounted in the second
position at the factory.

If the seatbelt
cannot be tight-
ened enough to
properly secure
the operator,
move the seat-
belt anchors to
the first position
on the seatbelt
upper mount.
If the seatbelt
cannot be loos-
ened enough to fit the operator, move the seatbelt
anchors down to the third or fourth position on the
seatbelt upper mount.
Window Latch Adjustment
The window latch pins can be
adjusted if the windows do not
close properly.
If the window does not seal
correctly, loosen the nut on the
window latch pin and move
away from the window slightly.
If the window latch is hard to close, move the win-
dow latch pin toward the window slightly.
Window Latch Handle Adjustment
If the window latch handle is
A
not properly positioned when
latched (to close to the glass or
sticks out to far from the glass),
the window latch handle posi-
tion can be adjusted. Unlatch
the handle, loosen the handle
bolt (A), and move the handle
up or down in the mounting
slot. Moving the handle up will
position the handle closer to
the glass when latched. Moving
the handle down will position
the handle farther from the glass when latched.
Door Latch Adjustment
If the door does not latch properly, the latch pin can
be adjusted. If the latch pin and door latch are mis-
aligned vertically, loosen the nut on the back of the
latch pin (A) and move the latch pin up or down until
properly aligned with the door latch.

If the door does not latch because the latch pin is
set too deep or if the door latches but does not seal
properly, loosen the two latch plate bolts (B) and
move the latch plate in or out to the proper depth.
NOTE: Check the lower door window for proper
adjustment prior to changing latch pin depth.
Door Latch Lubrication
Lubricate the door latch mechanism every 50 hours
with a spray lube or light weight oil. Use a cloth to
protect the window glass from the spray and wipe
off any excess oil to prevent dripping.
Attention
If any component requires replacement, use only
original Ventrac replacement parts.
