REMOVE
WARNING
The lift truck must be put on blocks for some
types of maintenance and repair. The removal
of the following assemblies will cause large
changes in the center of gravity: mast, drive
axle, engine and transmission, and counter-
weight. When the lift truck is put on blocks,
put additional blocks in the following posi-
tions to maintain stability:
a. Before removing the mast and drive axle,
put blocks under the counterweight so the
lift truck cannot fall backward.
b. Before removing the counterweight, put
blocks under the mast assembly so the lift
truck cannot fall forward.
The surface must be solid, even, and level when
the lift truck is put on blocks. Make sure that
any blocks used to support the lift truck are
solid, one-piece units.
1.
Remove the cover between the hood and counter-
weight. See Figure 4.
