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 wiring harnesses and cables from tractor plugs before making adjustments on electrical system components or welding on machine.

When welding near an electronic component, such as a monitor controller, unplug all connectors and remove controller from machine to prevent damage to the microprocessors inside.

High voltage electricity from welder can be conducted through the drawbar and damage electronic devices on attached machines. To protect controllers on attached equipment, disconnect equipment from drawbars and hitches before welding.
