Practice Safe Maintenance
▲
Understand procedure before doing
work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲
Work in a clean dry area.
▲
Lower attached implement to the
ground and follow all shutdown
procedures before leaving the
operator’s seat to perform
maintenance.
▲
Allow implement to cool completely
before working on it.
▲
Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before
welding on implement.
▲
Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲
Inspect all parts. Make sure parts
are in good condition & installed
properly.
▲
Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
▲
Remove all tools and unused parts
from implement before operation.
Transport Safely
▲
Comply with state and local laws.
▲
Use towing vehicle and trailer of
adequate size and capacity. Secure
equipment towed on a trailer with
tie downs and chains.
▲
Sudden braking can cause a towed
trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if towed trailer is not
equipped with brakes.
▲
Avoid contact with any over head
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
▲
Always drive with load on end of
loader arms low to the ground.
▲
Always drive straight up and down
ramps with load on “uphill” side of
skid steer or tractor.
▲
Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
▲
Maximum transport speed for an
attached implement is 20 mph. DO
NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
▲
As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
an attached implement:
20 mph when weight of attached
implement is less than or equal
to the weight of machine towing
the implement.
10 mph when weight of attached
implement exceeds weight of
machine towing implement but
not more than double the weight.
▲
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the vehicle towing the load.
Tractor Shutdown & Storage
Before leaving operator’s
seat:
▲
If engaged, disengage PTO.
▲
Lower attached implement to
ground or onto support blocks.
▲
Put tractor in park or set park
brake, turn off engine, and remove
switch key to prevent unauthorized
starting.
▲
Wait for all components to come to
a complete stop before leaving the
operator’s seat.
▲
Detach and store implement in an
area where children normally do
not play. Secure implement using
blocks and supports.
