(5) Engine cover
1) Opening and closing the engine cover
① Opening the engine cover
To open the engine cover, grip the handle on the front of the
engine cover and press the button.
・ Due to the danger of rotating parts, such as the cooling fan and belts, only open the engine
cover when the engine is stopped.
・
When opening the engine cover, be careful of being burned by a hot engine cover, engine, or
muffler cover. The engine cover itself may become very hot immediately after operating the
engine.
Therefore, make sure the engine has cooled down sufficiently before opening the engine cover
to inspect the engine.
・
Leaving the engine cover open can be dangerous as it may close unexpectedly from wind
gusts or other causes.
・
When opening the engine cover, open it completely without stopping part way.
Do not open the engine cover in strong winds.

confirming it is fully locked.
・ Close and lock the engine cover before driving or operating the crane.

Be careful not to pinch hands or other body parts when closing the cover.
