Safety Tips During Maintenance - Zetor UTILIX HT Series Operator's Manual

Safety tips during maintenance

1. Check all oil levels at least once a day. Check the amount of water in the radiator and the electrolyte
level in the battery and perform service according to the service schedule of the machine.
2. Ensure that the tire pressure is even and corresponds with the work to be performed.
3. Check that all preventive and service operations are properly performed on the tractor.
4. Ensure that adequate service facilities are available for maintenance and minor repairs.
5. Ensure that all service work and repairs are performed on flat concrete surface or similar surface. Do
not perform service work on the tractor until it is stopped, the parking brake is applied, and the wheels
are secured with wedges. If the tractor is started in an enclosed area, ensure that the area is well
ventilated as the exhaust fumes are very harmful and can cause intoxication or death.
6. It is forbidden to perform service work on the mounted equipment in the lifted position.
7. When changing wheels or tires, ensure that a suitable stand is placed under the axle before removing
the wheel and that the remaining wheels are secured with wedges.
8. If it is necessary to remove guards or covers when servicing or repairing, ensure that the guards or
covers are properly installed before starting the tractor.
9. Never fill the fuel near open flames or with an overheated engine. The engine must be stopped before
filling the fuel.
10. The cooling system operates under pressure, so be careful not to scald yourself with steam or hot
water when removing the hot engine radiator cap. Do not add water to the radiator when the engine is
hot. Only add water to the radiator after the engine has cooled down completely.
11. To prevent fire, keep the tractor, including its engine, clean and free from combustible material, at
a safe distance from fuel and other combustible material.
