Pre-Maintenance
Procedures
CAUTION
If you leave the key in the switch, someone
could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the switch before you
perform any maintenance.
CAUTION
Raising the machine for service or
maintenance relying solely on mechanical
or hydraulic jacks could be dangerous. The
mechanical or hydraulic jacks may not be
enough support or may malfunction allowing
the machine to fall, which could cause injury.
Do not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks for support. Use adequate jack stands
or equivalent support.

Preparing the Machine

WARNING
While you are maintaining or adjusting the
machine, someone could start the engine.
Accidentally starting the engine could
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition, engage
parking brake, and pull the wire(s) off the
spark plug(s) before you do any maintenance.
Also push the wire(s) aside so it does not
accidentally contact the spark plug(s).

making any adjustments to the machine.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Shut the wide-distribution impeller-gate for the
spreader and shut off the sprayer-pump switch.
