6.6 Rotor Lock
The Rotor Lock is used to secure the rotor from moving while
the upper rotor housing is open. It can only be engaged when
the rotor housing is open. The spring pin cannot be engaged
when the rotor housing is closed. This prevents unintended use
while in operation.
The rotor lock pin should be used anytime the rotor housing is
open to prevent potential injury.
