Frame and Covers
The frame is a single weldment with mounts for the coun-
terweight, overhead guard, mast, steering system,
hydraulic system, and transaxles. Check the condition of
the frame, especially around welds, for rust, cracks, or
other damage. The overhead guard must be free from
defects to ensure protection to the operator. A variety of
covers and floor plates provide protection and allow easy
access to systems located inside and around the frame.
See
. Make certain that all covers and floor plates
are present and secured in their proper locations.
