15.1. Removing protective covers
Caution:
Removing protective covers is considered to be a maintenance ope-
ration. As such, always switch off the engine, remove the spark plug cover and
wear appropriate clothing.
Caution:
Protective covers are intended to shield off dangerous areas to avoid
accidents. It is therefore strictly prohibited to operate the machine or to switch
on the engine or any drive with any protective cover removed.
Caution:
Anyone who removes a protective cover should be aware of the fact that
they are creating a dangerous situation and are therefore responsible for ensuring
safe circumstances in an alternative manner. They must therefore remove the
starter key from the lock to avoid other people starting the machine inadvertently.
The machine has 2 protective covers:
1. The small reduction gearbox cover for the drive unit.
2. The large protective cover that protects the
belt drive of the blades, the belt drive for the
reduction gearbox and the chain drive between
the reduction gearbox and the traction roller.
The
small reduction gearbox
is attached with 3 M6 bolts (spanner size 10).
• Completely unscrew the bolts (anti-clockwise). The bolts are screwed to the frame, so one span-
ner is sufficient.
• Slide the cover horizontally away from the machine.
• When replacing the cover, pay attention to the cables. Make sure that these are pushed into the
provided recesses so that they do not get crushed.
• At the top two attachment points, make sure that the edge of the small protective cover is
placed underneath that of the large one.
The
large protective cover
is attached with 4 M6 bolts (spanner size 10).
• Here too, the attachment bolts must be unscrewed one by one (anti-clockwise).
• Slide the protective cover horizontally.
• When replacing the protective cover, the bolts must first be placed in their position without
completely tightening them. This makes it possible to slide the protective cover a little more so
that the holes line up with the bolts.
• Once all the bolts are screwed in, they can be tightened.
• To attach the cover without vibrations, make sure that the rubber strips are placed on the
edges of the cover when installing.
