The seat belt, hip restraint brackets, seat and mounting. hood, and latches are all part of the operator restraint system. Each item must be checked to make sure it is attached securely, functions correctly, and is in good condition

The seat beit must fasten securely. Make sure the seat belt extends and retracts smoothly and is not frayed or torn. If the seat belt is damaged or does not operate properly, it must be replaced

NOTE: Lift trucks produced after November 2005 are equipped with the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) style seat belt

When the ELR style seat belt is properly buckled across the operator, the belt will permit slight operator repositioning without activating the locking mechanism. If the truck tips, travels off a dock, or comes to a sudden stop. the locking mechanism will be activated and hold the operator's lower torso in the seat

A seat belt that is damaged worn or does not operate properly will not provide protection when it is needed

The end of the belt must fasten correctly in the latch

The seat belt must be in good condition. Replace the seat belt if damage or wear is seen

NOTE: The following seat belt operation checks must be performed three times before replacing the seat belt assembly

With the hood closed and in the locked position, pull the seat belt slowly from the retractor assembly. Make sure the seat belt pulls out and retracts smoothly. It the seat belt cannot be pulled from the retractor assembly or the belt will not retract, replace the seat belt assembly

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
