MAINTENANCE

General Information

FIG. 14: Before doing any unplugging, lubricating,
servicing, cleaning, or adjusting:
• Park the machine on a solid level surface.
• Disengage the tractor PTO.
• Put the tractor transmission in PARK and apply the
tractor parking brake.
• Stop the tractor engine and take the key with you.
• Look and Listen! Make sure all moving parts have
stopped.

machine and the tractor before working on or under
the machine.
Do not leave the tractor or implement unattended with the
engine running.
Do not pull crop, twine, or any other object from the
machine while the tractor engine is running. Moving parts
can pull you in faster than you can move away.

moving parts have stopped.
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness,
especially wheel mounting hardware.
After unplugging, lubricating, servicing, cleaning, or
adjusting the machine make sure all tools and equipment
have been removed.
Make sure electrical connectors are clean and free of dirt
or grease before connecting.
Check for loose, broken, missing, or damaged parts.
Make sure the baler is in good repair. Make sure all
guards and shields are in position.
Be aware of the size of parts when doing service work.
Never stand under or near a part being moved with lifting
equipment.
