4.2.16 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.
4.2.17 Projection of stones and foreign
objects
For driver safety, always use a tractor equipped with
a cab. Never start a gyrorake when there are people
nearby. Even when the machine is used in
accordance with its purpose, objects may be
projected. Stones and other foreign objects
projected by the moving parts can travel a
considerable distance. Keep all persons and
animals away from the danger zone.
