I ran without the cover on the power belt when I tried to use the twin belts. It unnerved me so much I put it back on. I don't like standing next to fast moving belts. I keep thinking of the tail of my shirt or my sleeve getting hung up in it and ruining my day.
The lower cover supports the belt to keep it from rubbing on the pulley while the engine is at Idle position. If this is not on the belt life will be shortened. All of the other covers are for Safety First.
I've also found on our LT40HDE25 that the upper cover also holds the belt in the right position when the motor is disengaged. With it off, the belt will jump and jerk.
I figgered you meant the guards around the belts and stuff on the head, not the blade doors?

There is a pin that can be adjusted back and forth underneath that cover that should almost touch the belt when the mill's is in gear. Then when its out of gear, the pin holds the belt up off of the engine pulley...
