WARNING

DO NOT operate the lift truck without the over-

head guard correctly fastened to the lift truck.

WARNING

DO NOT weld mounts for lights or accessories to

legs of the overhead guard. Changes that are

made by welding, or by drilling holes that are too

big or in the wrong location, can reduce the

strength of the overhead guard.

See your dealer for Yale lift trucks BEFORE per-

forming any changes to the overhead guard.

NOTE: The lift trucks covered in this YRM are equip-

ped with either a high or low overhead guard. The re-

moval and installation procedures for both types of

overhead guards are the same.

No welding or drilling on legs of overhead guard is

permitted as per previous WARNING.

NOTE: The lifting device can be connected to any

number of positions on overhead guard depending

upon lifting device available. The ideal choices are a

four point sling connected to all four corners on top of

overhead guard, or a two point sling connected to two

opposite corners of overhead guard. If a single point

hoist is used, make sure that lift point is in center of

overhead guard. If during initial start of lift, the over-

head guard is off balance, lower immediately and

move hoist to a more centered point.

1. Connect a lifting device to remove overhead

guard. Loosen clamp and disconnect air intake

hose from elbow. Remove bolts, elbow, retainer,

and grommet from overhead guard rear leg. See

Figure 20.

2. Disconnect wires between frame and overhead

guard. When overhead guard is lifted from frame,

make sure that electrical wires are moved through

holes in overhead guard so that they are not dam-

aged.

3. The rear legs of overhead guard have two cap-

screws that are located under hood inside engine

compartment, next to radiator. Remove cap-

screws. See Figure 21.
