SAFETY
SERVICE RAKE SAFELY
To help prevent injury caused by unexpected
movement, be sure to service machine on level surface.
Lower rake wheels before servicing or adjusting rake.
If machine is connected to a tractor:
• Engage tractor parking brake and/or place
transmission in “Park.”
• Shut off engine and remove key.
If machine is detached from tractor, block wheels and
use safety stands to prevent movement.
To avoid eye injuries, cuts and bruises, take care when
working around raised wheels. Do not service or adjust
machine with rake wheels raised.
PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep
area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is
moving. Keep hands, feet, and clothing 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 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 damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before making
adjustments on electrical systems or welding on
machine.
