rious injury.
W0004A
• Follow the maintenance schedule with regard to the im-
plement servicing intervals.
Remember that the implement requires attention from
time to time. Also remember that the maintenance will
greatly extend the life of the implement.
• Take the necessary precautions: not to spill any oil, fuel
or grease.
To avoid oil and grease contact with your skin, wear
protective gloves.
• Service the implement on a firm level surface.
• Do not attempt to remove material from any part of
the implement, clean, lubricate or carry out any adjust-
ments on the implement while it is in use.
• Keep hands, feet and/or garments away from parts
which move. Check that all rotating parts have a
suitable protective guard.
• Raised implement and/or loads can fall unexpectedly
and crush persons underneath. Never enter or allow
anyone to enter the area underneath raised implement
during operation.
Unsupported hydraulic cylinders can lose pressure
and drop the implement and cause a crushing hazard.
Do not leave the implement in a raised position while
parked or during service, unless securely blocked on
wooden blocks.
• Never work under a raised implement unless a support
chain or other mechanical securing device secure the
link arms of the tractor so that the implement cannot
move to a lower position unintentionally.
• Relieve the pressure, stop the engine and remove the
ignition key, before you connect or disconnect fluid
lines.
• Before you adjust, clean, lubricate or you carry out re-
pairs on the implement, stop the engine and remove
the ignition key.
• Never adjust the implement while the Power Take-Off
(PTO) drive shaft is engaged. Do not to remove the
guards until all revolving parts have stopped.
• Any leakage of hydraulic oil or fuel under pressure may
cause severe harm, so always use a shielding, goggles
and gloves when you trace oil or fuel leaks.
Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece
of cardboard or paper.
• Continuous long term contact with hydraulic fluid may
cause skin cancer. Avoid long term contact and wash
the skin promptly with soap and water.
• If hydraulic fluid or diesel penetrates the skin, seek
medical care immediately.
• Observe all recommendations that are mentioned in
this manual such as service intervals, torques, lubri-
cants, etcetera.
• Always replace all parts that have damage or wear.
• Never build flexible hose assemblies from hoses that
were previously part of a hose assembly.
• Never weld to the tubes.
• Always use gloves when you work with parts on the
implement as the parts can have sharp edges.
• Transmission and hydraulic lines may become hot dur-
ing operation. Be careful when you service such com-
ponents. Allow surfaces to cool before you handle or
disconnect hot components. Wear protective equip-
ment when required.
