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.

On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground
cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems
or welding on machine.

On towed implements, disconnect wiring harnesses from
