Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long
implement life. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime, and repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key before
making any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
Crushing Hazard:
Always have transport locks in place and frame sufficiently
blocked up when working on implement. You may be severely
injured or killed by being crushed under the falling implement.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying pressure.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible.
Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavy
gloves to check for suspected leaks. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin. If
an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a
physician familiar with this type of injury.
