1.4.1 General maintenance information

Before doing any unplugging, lubricating, servicing,
cleaning, or adjusting:
• Park the machine on a solid level surface.
• Disengage the tractor power take-off.
• Make sure all controls are in the neutral
position and apply the park brake.
• Make sure all implements and attachments
have been lowered to the ground.
• Stop the engine and take the key with you.
• Look and Listen! Make sure all moving parts
have stopped.
• Put blocks in front of and behind the wheels of
the machine before working on or under the
machine.
Do not leave the tractor or implement unattended with the engine running.
Do not pull crop or any other object from the machine while the machine engine is running. Moving parts
can pull you in faster than you can move away.
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness, especially wheel mounting hardware.
Do not attempt to service or adjust the machine until all moving parts have stopped.
Be aware of the size of parts when doing service work. Never stand under or near a part being moved with
lifting equipment.
After unplugging, lubricating, servicing, cleaning, or adjusting the machine make sure all tools and
equipment have been removed.
Make sure electrical connectors are clean and free of dirt or grease before connecting.
Check for loose, broken, missing, or damaged parts. Make sure the machine is in good repair. Make sure
all guards and shields are in position.
Always raise implement, shut off tractor engine, apply the parking brake, shift to park position (or neutral)
remove the key and install the cylinder stops channels before working around the machine.
Avoid working under the machine. However, if it becomes unavoidable to do so, make sure the machine is
securely blocked and the cylinder lockup channels are in position.
When working around discs, be careful to not get cut on sharp edges.
Never service, check or adjust drive chains or belts
while the engine is running.
