engine side and front panel removal

[Ken P]

Folks -

I feel dumb posting this, but I've got a new-to-me B2410 that I'm doing some service on, and I cannot figure out how to take off the front and side engine panels. The manual clearly states that you should pull sideways from the top of the panels, then lift off. It has a little diagram indicating this, too.

None of the panels on mine can be pulled in that manner. The front panel can be pulled out somewhat from the bottom, but then no further. The side panels lift up slightly, but no further, and cannot be pulled off outwards.

I'd be appreciative of assistance, and stand ready to give myself a serious "doh!" whack on the head. Thanks -

Never mind...figured it out. There are some spring clips that needed to be fiddled with. Squeezed them, lifted a bit and then the panels could be pulled off.

With the new B series its a bit different, you loosen a couple of screw downs and the front grill flops forward, then the side panels just lift off,,,,,pretty cool design

Don't think you need to squeeze the clips, just give a tug and the arrowhead pops out of the clip. I've got a B2710, assume it's the same. It takes a pretty good tug, feels like you're going to break something the first time, but then you get the feel.
