MAINTENANCE

General Information

FIG. 15: 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.
• Turn off the control console.
• Stop the tractor engine and take the key with you.
• Look and Listen! Make sure all moving parts have
stopped.
• Put blocks in front of and behind the wheels of the
machine and the tractor before working on or under
the machine.
Do not leave 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.
Do not attempt to service or adjust the machine until all
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 machine is in good repair. Make sure all
guards and shields are in position.
Check the disc and knife bolts regularly for tightness,
especially after striking foreign objects. See Cutterbar in
the Specifications section for correct knife bolt torque.
FIG. 16: When working on the header, raise the header
all the way and engage both cylinder lockout valves. See
