PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is your responsibility. Maintenance neglect and/or poor maintenance
practices can result in injury or death. Always use the proper tools to maintain implement.
AVOID CRUSHING.
Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement.
Lower implement to the ground, place tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key.
USE BAR STANDS AND CYLINDER STOPS TO SUPPORT THE
IMPLEMENT.
Park implement on a clean, dry, and level surface. An uneven surface could
cause implement to shift or fall, resulting in injury or death, as well as implement damage.
Securely support all implement components that must be raised. Remove buildup of grease,
oil, or debris prior to maintaining implement.
AVOID ENTANGLEMENT.
Never lubricate or service implement in motion. Keep
away from power driven parts when in motion. Disengage power sources prior to maintain-
ing implement. Injury or death can result from contact with power driven parts when in
motion.
AVOID CRUSHING.
Do not stand between the tractor and implement when connect-
ing or disconnecting implement. Injury or death can result from being trapped between the
tractor and implement.
AVOID FLUID PENETRATION.
Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate
skin, resulting in injury or death. Relieve hydraulic system pressure before connecting or
disconnecting tractor. Use cardboard or wood,
NOT BODY PARTS

hydraulic leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with
hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately for proper treatment.
