Abstract:
A tilt mechanism for supporting a cab assembly, comprising:a frame;a support member for supporting said cab assembly, said support member being mechanically coupled to said frame so that said support member is movable relative to said frame; andan actuation mechanism mechanically coupled to said frame and said support member, said actuation mechanism being operable between a retract mode of operation and an extend mode of operation,wherein (i) placing said actuation mechanism in said extend mode of operation causes said support member to move relative to said frame such that said support member advances a distance D.sub.1 along an axis of said frame in a first direction and (ii) placing said actuation mechanism in said retract mode of operation causes said support member to move relative to said frame such that said support member advances a distance D.sub.2 along said axis of said frame in a second direction.
