Abstract
A hood (18) and a control device (38) mounted on a vehicle (10) adjacent the hood (18) obstructs access to a source of motive power (24) of the vehicle (10), interferes with removal of the source of motive power (24) resulting in damage to the control device (38) and hood (18), and requires additional steps be taken to prepare the vehicle (10) for servicing. A pivotal hood arrangement (16) having a hood (18) and a control device (38) mounted on the hood (18) is provided. The control device (38) is movable with the hood into an opening (48) in the vehicle (10) to permit maximum movement of the hood (18) to an uncovering position (28). A closing device (52) is provided for closing the opening (48) and a retainer (74) is provided for holding the closing device (52) at a closed position (59). Thus, the problems of access, interference, damage and additional steps are eliminated. The pivotal hood arrangement (16) is particularly suited for use in a lift truck (10).
