1. Place wheel chocks in front and back of wheels
to prevent power unit from rolling.
2. If power unit is equipped with a rear work light
kit, the lights must be removed from the roll bar.
If the cab will be removed in warm weather and
the work light kit will be reinstalled, the wire har-
ness can be left in place. If the kit is to be per-
manently removed, the wire harness will need
to be disconnected in the power unit’s tool box
area and the connector will need to be removed
from the harness with a metri-pack terminal
removal tool. After pulling the wire harness,
remove the fuse from slot 6 in the front fuse
panel. Remove the light switch from the dash
and install a blank plug into the cutout.
3. If power unit is equipped with a directional sig-
nal light kit, the light kit must be removed from
the roll bar. If the cab will be removed in warm
weather and the directional signal light kit will be
reinstalled, the roll bar mount brackets and the
wire harness can be left in place. If the kit is to
be permanently removed, disconnect the wire
harness splitter from the power unit’s connector.
Disconnect the left and right wire harnesses from
the harness splitter. Remove the connectors from
the left and right harness ends with a weather
pack terminal removal tool. After pulling the wire
harness, remove the 10 amp fuse from slot 7 in
the front fuse panel. If a back up alarm kit or a
horn kit are installed, replace the 10 amp fuse
with a 5 amp fuse. Remove the directional signal
light switch and the hazard flasher switch from
the dash and install blank plugs into the cutouts.
4. If power unit is equipped with a strobe light kit, the
light must be removed from the roll bar. Disconnect
the wire harness in the power unit’s tool box area
and remove the connector from the harness with a
metri-pack terminal removal tool. If the kit is to be
permanently removed, pull the fuse from slot 6 in
the front fuse panel. Remove the light switch from
the dash and install a blank plug into the cutout.
5. If power unit is equipped with a propane kit, the
propane hose and wire harness must be discon-
nected from the lock off valve, and the propane
posts must be removed from the mount brackets.
This will be reinstalled after the cab is in place.
