DURING SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
• Before working on or near the 2620 BALEBUSTER for any reason, including servicing, cleaning,
unplugging or inspecting machine, use normal shut-down procedures unless instructed differently in this
manual.
• Never work on or near 2620 BALEBUSTER unless engine is shut off and flails stopped.
• Check periodically and tighten any loose bolts or connections.
• Use only replacement parts that are recommended by DuraTech Industries.
• If it is necessary to operate the tractor engine indoors for more than a few seconds, be sure to provide
enough ventilation to remove the tractor exhaust fumes.
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can be invisible and have enough force to penetrate the skin.
When searching for a suspected leak, use a piece of wood or cardboard rather than your hands. If injured,
seek medical attention immediately to prevent serious infection or reaction.
• Relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system before disconnecting the hose or performing other work on
the system. Make sure all connections are tight and the hose is in good condition before applying pressure
to the system.
