3-5 GENERAL MAINTENANCE SAFETY

·
Good maintenance is your responsibility.
Remember that poor maintenance is just an
invitation for future inconvenience. Be sure
to familiarize yourself with the proper
servicing procedures in this manual.
·
Before working on this machine, stop the
tractor or towing vehicle, set the brakes,
lower the wings or secure them in the wing
rests, relieve the hydraulic fluid pressure,
shut off the engine, and remove the ignition
keys.
·
Always use a safety support and block the
wheels. When performing maintenance,
never use a jack alone to support the
machine. Assist the jack with blocks or
other adequate support.
·
Use extreme caution when making
adjustments. Always wear protective
clothing and use personal safety devices
when required.
·
When disconnecting hydraulic lines, first
shut off hydraulic supply and relieve all
hydraulic pressure.
·
Never use hands to locate a hydraulic leak
on attachments. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can penetrate the skin.

·
Openings in the skin and minor cuts are
susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid.
If injured by escaping hydraulic fluid, see a
doctor at once. Gangrene can result.
Without immediate medical treatment,
serious infections, and reactions can occur.
·
When installing, replacing, or repairing
hydraulic system cylinders or parts, make
sure that the entire system is charged and
free of air before resuming operations.
Failure to bleed the system of all air can
result in improper machine operation,
causing severe injury.
·
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts, and
service equipment are removed.
·
Never replace hex bolts and washer with
less than grade 8 bolts and washers unless
otherwise specified.
·
Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacement parts must be used to
restore your equipment to original
specifications. The manufacturer will not
claim responsibility for use of unapproved
parts and/or accessories and other damages
as a result of their use.
·
If equipment has been altered in any way
from original design, the manufacturer does
not accept any liability for injury or
warranty.
