TOP PANEL

!
WARNING
• Do not open the top panel (hood) with the engine running. Do
not place hands near the cooling fan because it rotates at a
high speed and may cause injury. When starting the engine,
check the top panel (hood) to make sure that it is locked.
The lift truck is provided with a top panel lock to ensure that the engine
hood cannot be opened unless the lock is released.
The top panel opens towards the rear of the lift truck and is retained by
a gas stay.

service release latch lever (yellow) (refer to page 84).

LPG Cylinder (tank) mounting, you must swing out the LPG Cylinder
(tank) before opening the top panel (refer to page 86).
For lift trucks equipped with the optional joystick, before the top
panel is opened you must tilt the joystick control unit.
