Mercedes Atego 816, cant get cab to tilt forward

[Ian120165]

Hi,

2011 Atego,

I can using the cab tilt over hydraulic system get the cab to unlock at the rear, well pretty sure it's unlocked, I get the cab unlocked symbol on the dash.

Just can't seem to budge it using all my strength. It's been stood a while, any hints or suggestions?

Many thanks

Ian

hydraulic Rams could be bent, seen this before. Has it got enough oil in the handpump or is it an electric pump?. seen if you get someone to give the cab a lift manually while pumping it can work.

HI,

I found the torsion bar and a few fittings are missing.

Recently purchased the thing, that'll teach me

Best regards
