COVERS
WARNING:
• Do not keep the engine access covers open
when the machine is parked on a slope, or
while the wind is blowing hard. The engine ac-
cess covers may close accidentally, possibly
resulting in personal injury.
• When opening/closing the engine access cov-
ers, take care not to allow your fingers to be
become pinched with the covers.
Pull up latch (2) to open cover (1). The cover is raised by
link mechanism (3). Be sure to fully raise the cover. After
checking that stopper (4) provided on the left link is placed

Ö to disengage the lock.
While pushing stopper (4), lower the cover. When the cover
is lowered by the 1/4 stroke, leave stopper (4). Then, lower
cover (1) further to completely close it. Be sure to com-
pletely remove your hand, which is pushing stopper (4), out
of cover (1) at this time. Failure to do so may cause your
hand to be caught with cover (1), possibly resulting in se-
vere injury.
