Checking For High Pressure Leaks - MASSEY FERGUSON 1745 Service Manual

General Information
Frequently remove accumulated crop material from the
machine and check for overheated components. Check
the machine daily for any noises that are not normal.
Such noises could indicate a failed component that can
cause excess heat.
If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to be done
on the machine or attachments, make sure to clear any
crop material or debris from around the area. Make sure
the area below the work area is clear of any flammable
material as falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the
material.
When finished baling and before leaving baler, remove
the bale from the bale chamber. Raise the tailgate and put
the tailgate lockout valve in the lock position. Check for
accumulation of hay or hot spots in the bale chamber and
pickup area. Remove hay accumulation. Put the tailgate
lockout valve in the unlock position and lower the tailgate.
FIG. 38: If fire occurs stand upwind and away from
smoke from the fire.
If a fire occurs while baling, eject the bale, move tractor
and baler upwind away from bale 12 m (40 ft). Raise the
tailgate. Engage the tailgate lockout valve in the LOCKED
position. Use a fire extinguisher or other water source to
put out the fire.

Checking for High Pressure Leaks

FIG. 39: Fluid leaking from the hydraulic system or the
fuel injection system under high pressure can be very
hard to see. The fluid can go into the skin causing serious
injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours. If not removed immediately, serious
infection or reaction can develop. Go immediately to a
doctor who knows about this type of injury.
