work near moving parts. If these items were to get caught,
severe injury could result.
Remove rings and other jewellery to prevent electrical
shorts and entanglement in moving parts.
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep the
surrounding area of the tractor clean & dry.
Do not attempt to service tractor when it is in motion. Keep
body and clothing away from rotating shafts. Always lower
equipment to the ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key.
Allow tractor to cool before any work/repair is performed
on it.
Securely support any tractor components that must be
raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed.
Replace worn or broken parts. Replace damaged or missing
decals. Remove any buildup of grease or oil from the
tractor.
Disconnect the battery ground cable (-) before making
adjustments on electrical systems or welding on tractor.
Prevent Acid Burns
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong
enough to burn skin, cause holes in clothing and cause
blindness if it contacts the eye.
For adequate safety always :
1. Fill batteries in a well-ventilated area.
2. Wear eye protection and acid proof hand gloves.
3. Avoid breathing direct fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Do not add water to electrolyte as it may splash off
causing severe burns.
If you spill acid on yourself :
1. Flush your skin with water.
2. Flush your eyes with water for 10-15 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately.
Prevent Battery Explosions
Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from
the top of battery. Battery gas can explode.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across
the poles.
