Maintenance
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long
implement life. With careful inspection, you can avoid
costly maintenance, downtime and repair.
Always turn off the tractor and remove the tractor key
before making any adjustments or performing any
maintenance.
Crushing Hazard
Always use center section and gauge
wheel lift locks when working near or under
a raised implement. A falling implement
can result in severe injury or death.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. Check all hydraulic
lines and fittings before applying pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not body parts,
and wear heavy gloves to check for
suspected leaks. If injured, seek immediate
medical attention from a physician familiar
with this type of injury.
Crush and Pinch Hazards
Do not rely on hydraulics to hold the
implement at lift. Use the maintenance lift
locks provided. Unlocked lift cylinders
settle over time and may result in serious
injury or death to anyone working
underneath.
Do not rely on the transport lift lock to hold
the wings at raised. Use the gauge wheel
lock channels provided. Unlocked gauge
wheel cylinders settle over time and may
result in serious injury or death for anyone
working underneath. Openers at wing gaps
can pinch anyone working between them.
Opener damage is also possible.
