Cleaning the Machine
Always pay attention to the area and environment when carrying
out any cleaning work: this will reduce the risk of injury to you
and others.
Before cleaning: Check the area around the machine for
hazardous or loose material.
Cleaning Procedure
o
Lower the machine to the ground.
o
Apply the parking brake and stop the tractor.
o
Remove the starter key from the tractor.
o
Disconnect the PTO shaft.
o
If the machine needs to be raised for cleaning ensure it is safely and suitably
supported.
o
Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
o
Wear the correct protective gear for body and face when cleaning the machine,
this will protect you from dirt and oil splashes. Insufficient protection of body and
face can lead to severe skin and eye injuries.
Cleaning Agents
Some cleaning products contain chemicals that are hazardous
to the environment. Always take precautions to prevent spillage
of fluids while cleaning.
Only use pH neutral cleaning agents when cleaning the
machine. pH neutral cleaning agents give your machine
maximum protection. Cleaning agents with either high or low pH
values can be corrosive on plastic, rubber and varnished
surfaces.
High pressure cleaning equipment may be used to clean the
machine but must be used with care to avoid risk of damaging
paintwork and decals. Areas around the bearings should be
cleaned using gentle squirts of water.
After cleaning allow the machine to dry off completely and lubricate it fully before using
it for work or placing it into storage.
