rubber or polyurethane, covered with slip-coated vinyl with
reinforced fabric backing upholstery having a minimum weight of 45
ounces per linear yard.
3.21 Cowl or hood. The engine shall be protected by a hood cover
and sideplates, except that sideplates may be omitted when the wheel
guards provide the engine compartment with protection from road
splash and debris. The sideplates shall be quick opening. The
sideplate shall be capable of being opened or removed by one man and
shall be within the design weight limits of MIL-STD-1472, figure 21,
table XXVI, Weight Requirements. Handtools shall not be required for
release of the sideplates. Elastomer hood latches or paddle latches
shall be provided on the side panels. All engine accessories shall be
completely accessible without requiring the removal of any additional
forklift components when the hood cover and sideplates are opened.
3.22 Instrument panel. The instrument panel shall be installed on
an incline at a minimum of 5 degrees to a maximum of 80 degrees. On
this panel shall be mounted the charging system monitor, engine oil-
pressure-monitor, engine-coolant temperature monitor (if applicable),
torque converter or transmission-fluid temperature monitor, fuel
gage, and any other instruments used, unless otherwise specified
herein. Universal symbols shall be furnished in accordance with SAE
J298 and ANSI MH11.3. All gages shall be flush mounted and shall be
provided with switch-controlled illumination.
3.23 Controls and instrumentation Each control shall be provided

resistant steel that has been passivated as per QQ-P-35. The cables
shall be covered with a polyethylene or vinyl jacket. Cable ends
shall be tailored to actuate all levers through their respective arcs
without binding. Bend radii shall be recommended by the cable
manufacturer. The "as-installed" mechanical efficiency of each
installation shall be not less than 70 percent and the no-load
friction shall not exceed 5 ounces per foot. The control
