SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Stop engine, set brake, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
Support the equipment with blocks or safety stands before working beneath it.
Follow good shop practices including:
- Keep service area clean and dry
- Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded
- Use adequate light for the job
Use only tools, jacks, and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job. Replace and secure all
shields removed during servicing before operating. Use heavy leather gloves to handle sharp
objects.
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce
an explosion, which may result in serious injury or death.
Do not allow grease or oil to build up on any deck or platform.
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacement parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications.
The manufacturer will not claim responsibility for use of unapproved parts and/or
accessories and other damages as a result of their use.
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does
not accept any liability for injury or warranty.
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing
maintenance on this equipment.
STORAGE SAFETY
Following operation, or when unhooking, stop the tractor, set the brakes, disengage the
PTO, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys.
Store the unit in an area away from human activity.
Do not permit children to play on or around the stored machine.
Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety
devices. Support the frame on stands and blocks to provide a secure base.
