PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST

Efficient and safe operation of the AgriMetal Leaf
and Debris Collector requires that each operator
reads and understands the operating procedures
and all related safety precautions outlined in this
section. A pre-operation checklist is provided
for the operator. It is important for both personal
safety and for maintaining the machine in good
mechanical condition that this checklist be fol-
lowed.
Before operating the Collector and each time
thereafter, the following areas should be checked
off:
1. Lubricate the machine per the schedule out-
line in the Maintenance Section.
2. Check the tension and alignment of all belts
and pulleys. Adjust tension and align as re-
quired.
3. Check the pick-up head brush and chopper.
Remove any twine, wire or other material that
has become entangled.
4. Check that all bearings turn freely. Replace
any that are rough or seized.
5. Make sure that all guards and shields are in
place, secured and functioning as designed.
