Anyone know how to tilt the cab of a lorry?
Lorry is a Man 8150. I've been told its easy to do but I don't have a clue how.

Look behind the cab on the passenger side - you should see a small tube with a thing that sticks out the side which can be turned (there are arrows to denote which way!) and next to it an arm that you pump. You should have tools in the lorry to do this. Turn the tube so it points to the up arrow, then pump the arm. You can do the turning with pliers if needed, and if you don't have the cab tilting tools, then the arm can be pumped with anything you can get over it to give you enough leverage.

Make sure you secure anything in the cab that could fall and break the windscreen!
