Pre-Maintenance
Procedures
Removing the Cover Plate
Important:
The fasteners on the covers of this
machine are designed to remain on the cover after
removal. Loosen all fasteners on each cover a few
turns so that the cover is loose but still attached,
then go back and loosen them until the cover
comes free. This prevents you from accidentally
stripping the bolts free of the retainers.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, engage
the parking brake (if applicable), and lower the
grinder.
2.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
WARNING
There is a belt under the cover that is
moving when the machine is running
and can catch fingers, hands, loose hair,
and clothing, causing serious injury,
amputation, or death.
Always shut off the engine and wait for
all moving parts to stop before removing
the cover.
3.
Loosen the bolt at the rear of the cover plate.
4.
Loosen the 3 bolts securing the cover plate to
the frame sequentially until the cover is loose
(Figure
