Plungerhead Difficulties
Never work on machine while it is running. Driveline
can continue after disengaging PTO. Stay clear of machine until it
has come to a complete stop. Shut engine off, remove key from ignition,
set parking brake, and engage flywheel brake before repair or servicing.
Only restart machine once cause is identified and resolved. Working with an unsafe machine can result in serious injury or damage to equipment.
