11.3.4. Opening the blade shaft compartment
Caution: Before opening the rear hatch, the blade shaft must be at a complete
standstill. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
Caution: Place the blow chute in the working position to open the rear hatch.
• To do, simply turn the handle counter-
clockwise. The rear hatch opens like a
door.
• To close the maintenance hatch, push
the hatch against the lock and simul-
taneously turn it clockwise. Turn the
screw until you feel resistance and finish
screwing it in with one final half-turn.
Warning: The blades are extremely sharp. Avoid all contact with the blades and
always wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves.
When the hatch has been closed completely, a safety switch will engage. When closing the hatch,
listen for the sound of the switch engaging.
