Maintenance Safety
WARNING!
Before attempting to access the underside of the machine, ensure it is adequately and safely
supported. Do not rely on the tractor’s hydraulics. Use safety supports that are capable of supporting
the machine mass indicated in Section 1.4 Machine general specification.
WARNING!
Repair and maintenance work should only be performed if you have the necessary professional
knowledge, the proper tools and comply with the following guidance:
Always park on a suitable firm, level surface with the parking brake applied.
Ensure the tractor engine is turned off and the starter key removed to prevent anyone else from
starting the tractor while it is being worked on.
Disconnect the PTO shaft.
Never work between the tractor and the machine if the machine has not been secured.
Always use original spare parts on the machine.
8.3
Lubricating Oil Precautions
WARNING!
Avoid excessive skin contact with used oil. Used oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which
may cause skin cancer or other serious skin disorders.
