I. Engine housing cover (engine hood) 

Disassembly, installing and adjustment 

1.Disassemble the engine hood, the 

windscreen cleaner nozzle. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Loosen four screws for fixing the engine 

hood and movable hinge, two on each side. 

Another operator disassembles the engine 

housing cover. 

 

Installing procedures are in the reversed 

order. 

 

 

 

3. There are trough holes on hinge holes, 

which can be used for final adjusting of 

engine hood. They are 4 ± 0.5mm with 

identical heights and smooth transition in 

order that clearances around front cover are 

even.  

 

 

 

 

 

In case that transverse adjustment of the 

engine hood is necessary, loosen the 

connecting bolt as shown in the figure and 

transversely move engine hood following 

the hinge holes. Measure the distance after 

moving the engine hood for several times. 

Keep on moving until required value is 

achieved.
