5.8 ROTOR HOOD OPEN PROCEDURE
To prevent potential accidents and harm to the operator from a spinning rotor, a safety interlock system
is incorporated into the rotor upper housing. The safety interlock ensures that the rotor has completely
stopped rotating before the rotor housing is able to be opened.
5.8.1 INTERLOCK PROCEDURE:
As a warning the interlock lever will chatter if attempting to engage the interlock while the rotor is still spin-
ning. The interlock is protected with shear pins. If the lever is forced while the rotor is spinning, the shear
pins will break and the interlock will fail to engage.
The symbols to the left follow the lockout procedure label attached at the rotor interlock lever.
1. Prepare to set the rotor lock. Components and controls should be
reviewed. (see section 4) Engine manual should also be reviewed.
Set park brake if connected to tow vehicle, block and chock the
wheels.
Ensure the jack leg is lowered and is secured.
The rotor must come to a full stop. The
interlock will not engage if the rotor is
moving. Potential injury and damage to
the machine will occur if the interlock is forced
while the rotor is turning.
2. Bring the engine down to idle, turn the engine off, remove and
pocket the ignition key (to prevent accidental engine starts.) For
an added measure of safety, disconnect the battery.
3. Wait for all parts to stop moving. The rotor will continue to spin a
few minutes after the engine has stopped.
The rotor must come
to a full stop.
4. The rotor safety interlock lever is ready to be engaged.
Proceed to step 5.7.2 to complete the rotor hood open procedure.
