WARNING! The lift truck must be put on blocks for some types of maintenance and repairs.

The removal of the following assemblies will cause large changes in the center of gravity: mast, drive axle, engine, trans-mission, and counterweight.

When the lift truck is put on blocks put additional blocks in the following positions to maintain stability

Before removing the mast and drive axle, put blocks under the counterweight so the lift truck cannot fall backward

Before removing the counterweight, put blocks under the mast assembly so the lift truck cannot fall forward

WARNING! The transmission is heavy. Make sure that any lifting device has enough capacity to lift the weight. The transmission can weigh approximately 84 kg (185 lb)

Remove the seal plate for the brake and throttle pedals

Disconnect the engine wiring harness from transmission wiring harness

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 performing any changes to the overhead guard

NOTE: The lift trucks covered in this YRM are equipped with either a high or low overhead guard. The removal and installation procedures for both types of overhead guards are the same

No welding or drilling on legs of overhead guard is permitted as per previous WARNING

NOTE: The lifting device can be connected to any number 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 single point hoist is used, make sure that the lift point is as close to the center of the overhead guard. 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

Connect a lifting device to remove or install the overhead guard. Loosen clamp and disconnect the air intake hose from the elbow. Remove bolls, elbow, retainer, and grommet from the overhead guard rear leg

Disconnect any wires between the frame and the overhead guard. When the overhead guard is lifted from the frame, make sure that any electrical wires are moved through the holes in the frame so that they are not damaged

Slide seat all the way to the rear of the hood

Use tilt lever and tilt steering column all the way forward

If your truck is equipped with an LPG tank, swing tank off to the side

Raise hood latch on the left, front corner of the hood to unlatch and lift up hood

Remove floor mat and floor plate

Remove capscrews, washers, and left and right rear side covers from frame

For lift truck models GLP/GDP16-18VX, GLP/GDP20SVX (GLP/GDP030-035VX, GLP/GDP040SVX) (D810), remove eight capcrews, eight clip nuts, and left and right step covers from frame

If lift truck is equipped with an overhead exhaust system, remove the overhead exhaust pipe before removing the counterweight

If lift truck is equipped with an LPG fuel system, see PSI 2.0L LPG Fuel System 0900YRM1739 for procedures to remove the overhead exhaust pipe

It lift truck is equipped with a diesel fuel system, see Exhaust System Repair in this manual for procedures to remove the overhead exhaust pipe

If the lift truck has an LPG fuel system, see PSI 2.0L LPG Fuel System 0900YRM1739 to remove the LPG tank and bracket, before removing the counterweight, and for additional information on the LPG fuel system

Install a lifting eye in the lift hole of the counter-weight

Connect a crane to the lifting eye and raise the crane until it holds part of the weight of the counterweight. Remove the tow pin and remove the capscrew and washer that hold counterweight to frame. Use crane to lift counterweight from lift truck. Put counterweight on the floor so that it has stability and will not fall over. Take care not to damage exhaust or cooling components

Make sure the seals are on the counterweight
