FOR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

ENGINE ACCESS

In order to perform service, inspection and lubrication operations to the tractor, it may be necessary to open or remove various panels and shields.

IMPORTANT: After performing work on the tractor, install all safety shields before operating the tractor.

OPENING THE HOOD PANELS

To provide easy access to the engine, each hood side panel swings open vertically. There is an external latch, 1, that releases the panel. Each panel is held open by a single gas strut.

Close the hood panels by pulling downward from the side of it and keeping a steady pressure on the panel. The gas strut will collapse and the panel will go over center and latch. Do not force the panel down against the gas strut.
