WARNING: In particular cases it may be re-
quired that an operation is carried out with
open bonnet and running engine. In such
cases, pay special attention to moving and
hot parts, wear the required personal safety
devices and work only with the minimum
number of persons strictly required for the
operation.
WARNING: All the surfaces inside the bonnet
are hot. High burning danger. Be extremely
careful and wait for the surfaces to cool
down before operating inside the bonnet to
avoid burns.
WARNING: Danger of shearing. Open the
bonnet and remove the side panel only with
engine off and rotating parts completely at
standstill.
WARNING: A gas ram controls opening and
closing of the bonnet. Replace the gas ram if
not properly operating to avoid accidental
fall of the bonnet.

hitch and power take-off, before opening the
bonnet lower the links completely, whether
there are implements or not.
