Maintenance Safety
•
Follow ALL the operating, maintenance, and safety information in the manual.
•
Support the machine with blocks or safety stands when changing tires or working beneath.
•
Follow good shop practices:
-
Keep service areas clean and dry.
-
Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
-
Use adequate lighting for the job at hand.
•
Use only tools, jacks, and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job.
•
Place controls in neutral, stop engine, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
•
Relieve pressure from the hydraulic circuit before servicing or disconnecting from the tractor.
•
Make sure all guards are in place and properly secured when maintenance work is
completed.
•
Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all lines, fittings, and couplers are
tight and in good condition.
•
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
•
Maintain fasteners in running gear systems at their specified torque at all times.
•
Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, when carrying out any maintenance
and repairs or making any adjustments.
Hydraulic Safety
•
Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and are
clean.
•
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses or metal lines immediately.
•
Relieve pressure before working on hydraulic systems.
•
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps,
or cements. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure. Such repairs will
fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.
•
Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak.
Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a
leak.
