Perform Maintenance Safely
Prepare The Machine
Stored energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, thermal, etc.) must be controlled
or reduced to a practical minimum before performing
any maintenance, repair or service procedures.
Safety practices to prevent potential injuries from
energy-releasing sources:
— Disengage PTO before shutting off engine.
— Place controls in PARK or NEUTRAL before shutting
off engine.
— Set parking brake or block wheels.
— Allow all moving parts to stop.
— Lower mower to ground.
— Lower wings to ground on wing mowers.
— Shut off tractor engine.
— Relieve hydraulic system pressure by moving controls
several times in all directions.
— Lock ignition, remove key and take it with you.
— Look and listen for evidence of moving parts before
dismounting.
— Securely support or block up mower before working
underneath mower or other lifted components.
— Securely support, block up, or lock up mower wings
with approved locking devices before working near or
underneath a wing mower.
— Relieve pressure before disconnecting or
disassembling any pressurized system.
— Block or relieve spring pressure before disassembling
any spring-loaded mechanism.
— Securely support or block up any raised machine
component before working on it.
— Avoid fl ames, sparks, or smoking near any fuel,
hydraulic fl uid or other fl ammable material such as
mowing debris.
