SERVICE PROCEDURES

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury,
before servicing machine or opening
drive covers:
1. Fully lower header. If necessary to service
in the raised position, first engage header
lift cylinder stops.
2. Disengage header drive clutch.
3. Stop engine and remove key.
4. Engage park brake.
5. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
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 other mechanically
driven 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 drive 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.
