MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Unsafe workshop and servicing practices increase the risk of injury around machinery. Review
the following safety guidelines for important information regarding safety involved with
maintenance operations.
● Read, understand and follow all operating, maintenance and safety information in the
operator's manual.
● Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, when carrying out any
maintenance or repairs or making any adjustments.
● Place all controls in neutral, stop and lock-out the power source, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before servicing, adjusting or maintaining.
● Support the machine with blocks or safety stands when working beneath the machine.
● Follow good shop practices:
a. Keep the service area clean and dry.
b. Ensure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
c. Use adequate lighting for the job at hand.
● Use only tools, jacks and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job.
● Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
● Ensure all guards are in place and properly secured upon completion of maintenance.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Greasing
1. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing. Air powered greasing systems can damage
the seals on bearings and lead to early bearing failure.
2. Wipe the grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
