lubrication operations to the tractor, it may be
necessary to open or remove various panels and
shields.

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.
