Another important part of the battery restraint system is the steel weldment that is also the hood frame. See Figure 7. This hood frame is connected to the lift truck frame with hinges at the rear of the hood (see Figure 13). The front of the hood and frame is locked in the closed position by the assembly for the hydraulic hand levers. A latch releases the assembly to tilt forward and allow the hood to raise. See Figure 9. Gas springs help lift the hood assembly. The seat and other parts of the operator restraint system fasten to the hood assembly.
