Safety on maintenance
1
• Awareness of and compliance with the rec-
ommendations contained in this manual
will reduce the maintenance costs and ex-
tend the service life of the equipment.
• The maintenance services shall be carried
out by qualified and skilled professionals.
Even if the equipment has been washed,
it will be necessary to wear the following
PPEs: long-sleeve overalls, waterproof coat
or apron, waterproof gloves, goggles and
boots and special protection masks provid-
ed with appropriate filters.
• Use original parts, for they warrant a perfect
operation of the equipment.
• Maintenance services shall be performed
with the equipment coupled to the tractor,
with the tractor wheels chocked and the
diesel engine and tractor PTO shut down.
• Do not make improvisations nor use inap-
propriate tools during maintenance to the
equipment.
• Lubricating oil filters and oils shall be
checked from time to time and changed
whenever necessary or recommended.
• Every maintenance service on hydraulic
tubing or hoses shall be performed after de-
pressurization of the circuit. Redouble your
warning during this kind of maintenance.
• The identification of spots exhibiting pos-
sible leaks shall be made with paper, nev-
er with the hands.
• With the equipment coupled to the trac-
tor and the PTO, be careful and keep away
from the moving parts of the equipment;
these must be provided with their respec-
tive protections. In case of doubt, call the
authorized technical assistance.

• In case that no possibility exists of provid-
ing maintenance service to the equipment
with the diesel engine shut down and out-
side sheds, keep the shed doors and win-
dows wide open to allow continuous circu-
lation of air. Internal combustion engines
running within closed environments cause
toxic gases and can asphyxiate the opera-
tor within a few minutes.
• Performance of cleaning, lubrication and
maintenance services with the machine
running is forbidden, unless such running
condition is indispensable for the perfor-
mance of such operations, in which case
special protection and signaling steps shall
be taken against occupational accidents.
• Welding services on bars, chassis or other
metal parts of the equipment may only be
performed after removal of the tractor bat-
tery cables and after draining and washing
of the chemical reservoir.
• Keep the machine decals in perfect repair
at all times. They contain important notices
and recommendations.
• The removable protectors shall only be re-
moved for cleaning, lubrication and repair
or adjustment operations. Once the service
is completed, they shall be put back.
• The component lubrication work shall be
carried by a skilled, qualified and autho-
rized individual. Such procedure involves
a number of risks such as slipping, con-
tamination, etc. During the procedure,
use of gloves, goggles, boots provided
with antiskid sole is recommended. If the
equipment has been used, use also ap-
proved and appropriate breather mask.
• Do not enter in the 264–gallons reser-
voir. If necessary, call the specialized
technical assistance.
