SERVICE
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand all service procedures before
doing work. Keep the area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust the
machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet,
and clothing away from power-driven parts.
Disengage all power and operate controls to
relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the
ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key.
Allow the machine to cool. Securely support
any machine elements that must be raised
for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly
installed. Fix any damage immediately.
Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any
buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect the
battery ground cable (-) before making
adjustments on any electrical systems or
welding on the machine.
On towed implements, disconnect its wiring
harnesses from the tractor before servicing
any electrical system components or welding
on the machine.
Work in a Clean Area
Before starting a job:
•
Clean the work area and the
machine.
•
Make sure you have all the
necessary tools to do your job.
•
Have the right parts on-hand.
•
Read all instructions thoroughly; do
not attempt shortcuts.
Service Machines Safely
Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear
a necktie, scarf, loose clothing, or necklace
when you work near machine tools or moving
parts. If these items were to get caught,
severe injury could result.
Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent
electrical shorts and entanglement in moving
parts.
