Opening and Closing Engine Hood

CAUTION: Prevent serious injury or death from unexpected machine movement. Always install the loader boom service lock, or lower the front loader boom fully to the ground, and move control levers to release hydraulic pressure before working near the front of the machine.

IMPORTANT: Do not raise or lower the front loader boom while the engine hood is open. Always close the engine hood fully before moving the front loader boom, or severe damage to the engine hood will occur.

NOTE: The engine hood can be partially opened when the front loader boom is lowered fully to the ground. To fully open the engine hood, the front loader boom must be fully raised and the loader boom service lock must be installed. (See Loader Boom Service Lock in this chapter for installation instructions.)
