No sufficient context It's unclear, where the 'heads' are located. Do we talk about a rerun station (station de renvoi) or part of a conveyor component like a roller.

@ Carlos Yes, sorry, I forgot to post the context. Here it is: "Enlever les deux caches en tôle inox de la tête d’extrémité s’il y a plusieurs convoyeurs en ligne. Si le convoyeur est dégagé du coté extrémité, le démontage des caches n’est pas nécessaire.
Relever les deux têtes d’extrémité à la verticale."
