MAINTENANCE

ANY REPAIR WORK MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE MACHINE AT REST AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRACTOR.

DO NOT CARRY OUT WELDING WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION AND INSTRUCTION
FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE TRACTOR BEFORE ANY WELDING WORK.
DAMAGE TO BATTERY COULD RESULT.

ALWAYS USE A PROTECTIVE MASK, GOGGLES AND GLOVES WHEN WELDING,

SANDING OR GRINDING OR WHEN USING A HAMMER OR DRILL.

ALWAYS WORK ON THE MACHINE OUT OF DOORS. IF YOU HAVE TO OPERATE THE
MACHINE WHEN CONNECTED TO THE TRACTOR IN AN ENCLOSED AREA (WHEN
TESTING AFTER REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE), ENSURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT
VENTILATION SO AS TO PREVENT NOXIOUS EXHAUST GASES FROM
ACCUMULATING.

DO NOT USE GASOLINE, SOLVENTS OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AS
DETERGENTS.

USE COMMERCIAL NON-FLAMMABLE AND NON-TOXIC SOLVENTS.

DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR OR WATER AT HIGH PRESSURE TO CLEAN THE
MACHINE. IF THIS IS UNAVOIDABLE, THEN WEAR GOGGLES WITH SIDE
PROTECTION AND LIMIT THE PRESSURE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WHEN THE
WORK IS FINISHED, AND WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
TRACTOR, INSPECT AND CHECK THE MACHINE COMPLETELY.

The following should be noted if the machine is scrapped:

The machine consists mainly of ferrous material which must be disposed of according to the regulations in
force in the country concerned.

There is also a small amount of plastic which must be disposed of according to the regulations in force in the
country concerned.
