PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service or adjust machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet and
clothing from power driven parts. Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve
pressure. Lower equipment to the ground. Allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately.
Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
Remove paint before welding or heating. Avoid potentially toxic
fumes and dust when sanding, repainting or welding. Do all work
outside in a well-ventilated area. Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Avoid heating near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable
materials. Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when heat goes
beyond the immediate flame, which could result in severe burns to yourself and
bystanders.
Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under pressure can cause injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
Improper disposing of waste can threaten the environment and
ecology. Use leak-proof equipment when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking
from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any
water source. Use the manufacturer’s directions on the correct
way to recycle or dispose of waste.
USE A SAFETY CHAIN
A safety chain will help control drawn equipment
should it accidentally separate from the drawbar.
Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain
to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor
location. Provide only enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
Make sure that the chains you are using has a strength rating double or greater than
the gross weight of the towed machine. Do not use the safety chain for towing.
