ENGLISH
2.4- Safety in maintenance
ƒ
Maintenance, inspection, repair and other operations on the machine must
be carried out by trained, qualified or authorized workers for this purpose
(item 12.135 of NR 12), according to the instructions in this manual, aware
of the risks involved. It is therefore necessary to envisage the machine-wide
operating procedures appropriate to the management of dangerous situations
that may arise and methods for preventing them. All interventions must be
carried out with extreme caution, paying the utmost attention and respecting
all safety standards.
ƒ
Disconnect the power take-off, tractor engine, and remove the ignition key
before adjusting, lubricating, or servicing the machine. Never perform repairs
or adjustments on the connected machine.
ƒ
Always place all tractor hydraulic controls in the neutral position before
turning it off or working on the hydraulic system.
ƒ
Make sure that all system components are kept in good condition.
ƒ
Wear personal protective equipment - PPE (protective gloves, safety goggles,
ear plugs, safety boots and proper clothes) when servicing.
ƒ
Keep in mind that moving parts, due to inertia, remain in motion for some
time after the machine is switched off. Before touching any part of the
machine, turn off the power source, look and listen if there is no evidence
of movement. Do not touch any component of the machine unless you are
absolutely certain that it is not moving at all. Always be attentive!
ƒ
Do not place the machine on concrete blocks, hollow bricks or other supports
that may collapse under prolonged loads. When necessary, always use a safe
support.
ƒ
Do not attempt to disconnect the hydraulic connections or adjust with the
tractor engine on or the PTO shaft running. Risk of serious injury.
ƒ
Be careful of surfaces that may be hot, especially the gearboxes that may be
elevated during operation and service.
