Accessing Engine Compartment
The engine compartment can be
accessed by lifting the hood upward
from the recessed notches of the side
panels and tipping the hood forward. If
greater access is required, the tractor
is equipped with quick release side
panels.
Remove the quick release side panels
as follows (see Figure 16):
Open the hood by lifting upward at
the side panel notches on each side
of the tractor.
Flip the tab of the two quick release
fasteners up and turn to align with the
slots in side panels.
Swing the rear of the side panel out
and away from the tractor.
Slide the side panel rearward to
disengage the two front tabs of the
side panel from the slots of the
grille/side panel mounting strip.
To reinstall the side panels:
Insert the side panel front tabs into
the slots of the grille/side panel
mounting strip.
Swing the rear of the side panel
inward and align so that the tabs of
the quick release fasteners go
through the side panel slots.
Pull the quick release fastener tabs
slightly outward and rotate 1/4 turn
(perpendicular to slot) to lock the
side panels in place.
Flip the fastener tabs down and
close the hood.
