Safety
26
Disconnect the power source when working on the electrical
systems
Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before you start
working on the electric system. This will prevent short circuits and
damage to the electric circuit.
Be careful when cleaning with high pressure cleaning equipment
Only use low pressure cleaning equipment to clean bearings,
hydraulic hoses, plastic components, electrical control boxes and
electrical equipment. Using low water pressure to clean will protect the
sensitive equipment on the machine. Using high water pressure to
clean could damage vital parts of the machine.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products
Do not use aggressive cleaning products when cleaning. These can
damage shiny metal surfaces.
Disconnect the battery, engine control unit and alternator before
welding
The tractor battery and alternator should be disconnected before
performing welding work on the machine. This will protect the tractor
alternator during welding work. The tractor alternator could be
damaged or destroyed if the electric connections are not disconnected
before welding.
Tighten all fittings on moving parts
Check that bolts on moving parts are tightened after performing
maintenance work. Tightening parts prevents moving parts jarring.
Parts which are not correctly tightened can work loose and damage
the machine.
Do not alter the machine construction
The technical construction of the machine should not be altered and
machine maintenance should be performed. A well maintained
machine will offer maximum protection.
A poorly maintained machine will not offer proper protection and could
be dangerous.
