INSTALL
1.  Place the hood onto the lift truck frame.
2.  Install the hood hinge mount screws and nuts, lo-
cated  in  the  rear  of  the  hood,  and  tighten  to
38 N•m (28 lbf ft). See Figure 9.
3.  Align the ball  studs in the gas  springs  with holes
in  the  gas  spring  mounting  bracket  and  hood
mount. See Figure 10 for holes to use depending
on type of seat being installed. Install nuts on ball
studs  to  attach  gas  springs  to  the  hood.  Tighten
nuts to 19.2 N•m (170 lbf in).
4.  Install latch striker in highest slot position. Check
that latch striker is in center of jaws of hood latch
when  hood  closes.  Open  and  close  the  hood  to
ensure  that  the  center  pin  strikes  the  hood  latch
properly  and  that  the  stop  screw  contacts  the
frame.  A  properly  closed  hood  MUST  click  twice
on the hood latch. If the hood latch does not close
properly, loosen the capscrews on the back of the
center pin and adjust the center pin up or down as
required for correct alignment. See Figure 11.
5.  Push  down  until  hood  just  touches  rubber
bumper. Make sure latch striker is still in center of
hood latch. Open hood and tighten capscrews for
latch.
6.  Check operation of hood latch. Have an operator
sit in the seat. Make sure hood is fully closed (two
clicks).  Also  check  that  hood  touches  rubber
bumper. If necessary, repeat Step 4 and Step 5.
