Overhead Guard Replacement
REMOVE
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 lifting device can be connected to any
number of positions on the overhead guard depend-
ing 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 single 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
permitted as per previous
