Service Procedures
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury,
before servicing machine:
Make certain all hydraulic lift cylinders are fully
blocked to avoid retraction in the event of a
hose failure. When working in the area at the
masts where pressure loss in the vertical lift
cylinders could cause injury, make certain the
booms are folded into the transport cradles and
lowered into transport position. Pressure loss
or cylinder failure will then not result in
unexpected lowering of the booms.
Disengage drive clutch switch that activates the
spray system pump.
Shut off engine and remove key.
Engage park brake.
Wear close-fitting clothes 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
unlined gloves made of rubber, polyethylene, or
neoprene. Make certain you are familiar with
the hazards associated with the chemical last
used and/or in the spray system. Follow all the
manufacturers' suggested precautions for any
chemical you may come into contact with.
Some of the agricultural chemicals you have
chosen to work with are very toxic and
dangerous.
Ensure there is fresh water in the fresh water
