Precautions for maintenance and repair 
work

Before leaving the tractor or before adjusting,

maintaining or repairing the machine, disengage the
PTO drive, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and
wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop
and apply park brake.

Rest the machine on the ground, release the pressure

from the hydraulic circuit and leave the machine to cool
down.

Make sure that the parts of the machine that need to be

lifted for maintenance or repair work are firmly propped
up.

Before any work is done on the electric circuit or before

any electric welding is carried out on the attached
machine, disconnect the machine from the tractor
electrical circuit. Also disconnect alternator and battery
terminals.

Repairs on elements under pressure or tension (springs,

pressure accumulators, etc.) must only be carried out by
competent persons with regulation equipment.

Wear the appropriate protective clothing for the work in

hand (gloves, shoes, goggles, helmet, ear defenders,
etc.).

Do not solder, weld or use a blow torch near fluids under

pressure or inflammable products.

For your own safety and for correct machine operation,

only use original manufacturer parts.

It is strongly recommended to have your machine

checked by your Kuhn dealer after each season,
especially tools and their attaching hardware.

Projection of stones and foreign objects

For driver safety, always use a tractor equipped with a

cab. Keep the ground to mow free of foreign bodies.
Avoid mowing on stony or rocky grounds. If this is not
possible, take extra safety precautions, such as

- Fit polycarbonate screens inside the tractor cab's side

and rear windows, or install narrow mesh guards on
their exterior.

- Increase the cutting height to avoid contact with

stones or rocks.

Never start a mower conditioner when other people are

close.
