Pre-Operation Inspection And Service; (6.1) Tractor Pre-Operation Inspection And Service - Tiger RBF-19C Operator's Manual

6. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE

Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the boom, attached head, and tractor must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped,
present and functional. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection reveals any condition affecting
safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing parts as soon as noticed. By performing
a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time and repair cost can be avoided.
WARNING! Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when
necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners,
worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins
have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not
maintaining this machine in good working order.
DANGER! All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including
(but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel
Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields , and
Retractable Door Shields should be used and main-
tained in good working condition. All safety devices
should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing
or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items
must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of
injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or
blade contact.
