MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
METHOD FOR OPENING AND CLOSING ENGINE HOOD
• When opening or closing the engine hood, place the machine on a level ground, lower the work
equipment to the ground, stop the engine, then perform the operation.
• When inspecting or servicing the inside of the engine hood, be sure to fix the engine hood open by
using the engine hood support lever.
• When opening the engine hood, do not release the handle until the hood support lever is set in the
lock position securely.
• When closing the engine hood, hold the handle securely since the engine hood may moves down
because of its weight.
• Immediately after the engine is stopped, the engine hood is still hot. Accordingly wait until it has
cooled down before opening or closing the engine hood.
• Never stand on the engine hood. You may slip and fall.
• When driving the machine, always keep the engine hood closed unless you are inspecting.
NOTICE
Always keep the hood locked unless you need to open it.
You can see if the cover is locked by checking the direction of the key slot of the cover knob.
