Apparatus for Tilting and Securing a Heat Exchanger

In a vehicle including a heat exchanger having a first surface facing in a first direction, a second surface facing in a second direction opposite the first direction, opposite sides extending between the first and second surfaces, and an end portion extending between the sides mounted to the vehicle for pivotal movement of the heat exchanger about a side-to-side extending pivotal axis, an improvement comprising:

• an arm having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end being pivotally connected to the vehicle adjacent to one of the sides of the heat exchanger for pivotal movement of the arm relative to the vehicle in the first and second directions, and an element on the heat exchanger cooperatively engaged with the arm for movement therealong between the first and second ends thereof such that when the heat exchanger is in a first pivotal position, the element will be located adjacent to the first end of the arm and the arm will be positioned generally beside the heat exchanger so as to hold the heat exchanger in the first pivotal position, and wherein the arm can be grasped by a person and pivoted from the position beside the heat exchanger in the first direction to apply a force against the element to cause the element to move along the arm to a position adjacent to the second end of the arm to simultaneously pivot the heat exchanger in the first direction to a second pivotal position supported by the arm at an angle relative to the first pivotal position.
