Prepare The Machine
Stored energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, thermal, etc.) must be controlled
or reduced to a practical minimum before performing
any maintenance, repair or service procedures.
Safety practices to prevent potential injuries from
energy-releasing sources:
— Disengage PTO before shutting off engine.
— Place controls in PARK or NEUTRAL before shutting
off engine.
— Set parking brake or block wheels.
— Allow all moving parts to stop.
— Lower mower to ground.
— Lower wings to ground on wing mowers.
— Shut off tractor engine.
— Relieve hydraulic system pressure by moving controls
several times in all directions.
— Lock ignition, remove key and take it with you.
— Look and listen for evidence of moving parts before
dismounting.
— Securely support or block up mower before working
underneath mower or other lifted components.
Attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" warning tag to the control
levers and remove the ignition key if the mower should
not be operated. Take the key with you.
Install approved support device(s) when working under
or near raised equipment.
WARNING! Unsupported raised mowers or other
equipment may drop unexpectedly. Never go under
equipment when raised unless supported by an
approved support device(s). Death or serious crushing
injury could result from falling equipment.
Remove only guards or covers that provide access to
the area being serviced. Replace all guards and covers
when work is complete.
