The hood, hood latch, and latch striker must be
correctly adjusted for the correct operation of
the operator restraint system.

of hood. See Figure 41. Tighten capscrews so
hood latch can still move when hood is closed.

hood latch has two positions. The hood is fully

ter of hood latch. Open hood and tighten cap-
screws for latch.

WARNING
When working on or near the mast, see Safety
Procedures When Working Near Mast in this
section.
Never allow anyone under a raised carriage.
Do not put any part of your body in or through
the lift mechanism unless all parts of the mast
are completely lowered and the engine is
STOPPED.
Do not try to find hydraulic leaks by putting
your hand on hydraulic components under
pressure. Hydraulic oil can be injected into
the body by the pressure.
During test procedures for the hydraulic sys-
tem, fasten the load to the carriage with chains
to preven
t it from falling. Keep all personnel
away from
the lift truck during the tests.
