The hood, hood latch, and hood striker must be
correctly adjusted for the correct operation of
the operator restraint system.

Adjust the hood latch (see Figure 2) as follows:
a. Center the latch striker in the slot located in
the rear crossmember. Check that the latch
striker is in the center of the jaws of the hood
latch and tighten.
b. Loosen the capscrews for the hood latch just
enough to let the latch move. Position the
latch. Tighten the capscrews for the latch.

Check the operation of the hood latch. Have
an operator sit in the seat. Make sure that
the hood is fully closed (two clicks). Also,
check that the hood touches the rubber
bumpers. If necessary, repeat Step b.
