SERVICE PROCEDURES
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury,
before
servicing
opening drive covers:
1. Fully lower the header and reel. If necessary
to service in the raised position, always
engage header lock and reel props.
2. Disengage PTO.
3. Stop engine and remove key.
4. Engage park brake.
5. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Park on level surface when possible. Block
wheels securely if windrower is parked on an
incline. Follow all recommendations in your
Tractor Operator's Manual.
Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair.
Never wear dangling items such as scarves or
bracelets.
Wear protective shoes with slip-resistant soles, a
hard hat, protective glasses or goggles and
heavy gloves.
If more than one person is servicing the machine
at the same time, be aware that rotating a
driveline
or
another
component by hand (for example to access a
lube fitting) will cause drive components in other
areas (belts, pulleys and sickle) to move. Stay
clear of driven components at all times.
Be prepared if an accident should occur. Know
where the first aid kit and fire extinguishers are
located and how to use them.
Keep the service area clean and dry. Wet or oily
floors are slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous
when working with electrical equipment. Be sure
all electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded.
Use adequate light for the job at hand.
Replace all shields removed or opened for
service.
Use only service and repair parts made or
approved by the equipment manufacturer.
Substituted parts may not meet strength, design
or safety requirements.
Keep the machine clean. Never use gasoline,
naphtha or any volatile material for cleaning
purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or
flammable.
BELTS: When installing a new belt, never pry over
pulley. Loosen the necessary components to allow
easy installation, then adjust tension to the minimum
required to prevent slipping.
