Precautions for maintenance and repair
work
Before leaving the tractor or before adjusting,
maintaining or repairing the machine, disengage the
PTO drive, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and
wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop
and apply park brake.
Rest the machine on the ground, release the pressure
from the hydraulic circuit and leave the machine to cool
down.
Make sure that the parts of the machine that need to be
lifted for maintenance or repair work are firmly propped
up.
Before any work is done on the electric circuit or before
any electric welding is carried out on the attached
machine, disconnect the machine from the tractor
electrical circuit. Also disconnect alternator and battery
terminals.
Repairs on elements under pressure or tension (springs,
pressure accumulators, etc.) must only be carried out by
competent persons with regulation equipment.
Wear the appropriate protective clothing for the work in
hand (gloves, shoes, goggles, helmet, ear defenders,
etc.).
Do not solder, weld or use a blow torch near fluids under
pressure or inflammable products.
For your own safety and for correct machine operation,
only use original manufacturer parts.
„ Projection of stones and foreign objects
For driver safety, always use a tractor equipped with a
cab. Even when the machine is used in accordance with
its purpose, objects may be projected. Stones and other
foreign objects projected by the moving parts can travel
a considerable distance. Keep all persons and animals
away from the danger zone.
