Overhead Guard Replacement
REMOVE
WARNING
DO NOT operate the lift truck without the overhead
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 perform-
ing any changes to the overhead guard.
NOTE: The lifting device can be connected to any num-
ber of positions on the overhead guard depending upon
the lifting device available. The ideal choices are a four
point sling connected to all four corners on the top of
the overhead guard, or a two point sling connected to
two opposite corners of the overhead guard. If a sin-
gle point hoist is used, make sure that the lift point is as
close to the center of the overhead guard as possible.
If during the initial start of the lift, the overhead guard is
off balance, lower immediately and move the hoist to a
more centered point.
No welding or drilling on legs of overhead guard is per-
mitted as per previous WARNING.
1. Connect a lifting device to overhead guard.
NOTE: Note routing of electrical wires prior to discon-
necting. Tag electrical connectors during removal to aid
in installation.
2. Disconnect wires between frame and overhead
guard.
3. Remove capscrews from overhead guard rear legs
and frame. See Figure 19.
