Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety chapter, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.
5.1. Maintenance Safety
• Keep components in good condition. Follow the maintenance proce-
dures.
• Ensure the service area is clean, dry, and has sufficient lighting.
• Do not modify any components without authorization from the manu-
facturer. Modification can be dangerous and result in serious inju-
ries.
• After maintenance is complete, replace all guards, service doors, and/or covers.
• Shut down and lock out power before maintaining.
• Use only genuine REM replacement parts or equivalent. Use of unauthorized parts
will void warranty. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or your local dealer.
• Before performing any maintenance or adjustment, or unplugging the equipment,
place all the controls in neutral, stop the engine, disengage the PTO, set the park
brake, remove the ignition key, and wait for all the moving parts to stop.
• Support the GrainVac with blocks or safety stands when changing tires or working
beneath the GrainVac.
• Before attempting any maintenance, chock wheels.
• Make sure you have sufficient lighting for the work area.
• Do not take chances with safety. The components are large, heavy, and can be hard
to handle. Always use the proper tools, stands, jacks, hoists, slings, spreaders, and
lifting points for the job.
• Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all components are tight
and that hoses and couplings are in good condition.
Important: In the figures in this Maintenance chapter, the guards are often removed for illustrative
purposes only. Replace the guards before operating the GrainVac.
