MAINTENANCE
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE, SERVICING OR REPAIR
WORK OR WHEN INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF A FAILURE OR
MALFUNCTION, YOU MUST SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE, LAY THE MACHINE
DOWN, REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY AND WAIT FOR THE MOVING PARTS
TO COME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL.
Before proceeding with any maintenance work on a machine in the raised
position, prop up the machine with an appropriate support.
When replacing a working part or operating on sectional beater bars, wear
protective gloves and only use appropriate tools.
Beware! Never pass between the beater bars and regulators to access the
turbine.
To avoid environmental contamination, it is forbidden to throw away or dump
any type of oil, grease or filter. Hand them over to collection firms.
Before carrying out any operations on the electrical circuit, disconnect the
power source (tractor charging circuit or battery).
Any protective devices liable to wear should be checked regularly. Replace
them immediately if they are damaged.
Spare parts must comply with the standards and specifications laid down by
the manufacturer. Only use Kuhn spare parts.
Before carrying out any electrical welding work on the tractor or towed machine,
disconnect the cables from the alternator and battery.
Check the tightness of screws and nuts regularly. Tighten up if necessary.
