General Information
FIG. 20: Before doing any unplugging, lubricating,
servicing, cleaning, or adjusting of the machine:
•
Park the machine on a solid level surface.
•
Make sure the transmission is in gear and apply the
parking brake.
•
Turn off the control console, if equipped.
•
Stop the engine and take the key with you.
•
Look and Listen! Make sure all moving parts have
stopped. Do not attempt to service or adjust the
machine until all moving parts have stopped.
•
Put blocks in front of and behind the wheels of the
machine before working on or under the machine.
Do not pull crop or any other object from the machine
while the machine engine is running. Moving parts can
pull you in faster than you can move away.
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 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.
FIG. 21: Never service, check or adjust drive chains or
belts while the engine is running.
