1.4 Maintenance

1.4.1 General maintenance information

Before doing any unplugging, lubricating, servicing,
cleaning, or adjusting:

• Park the machine on a solid level surface.

• Make sure all controls are in the neutral
position and apply the park brake.

• Make sure all implements and attachments
have been lowered to the ground.

• Stop the engine and take the key with you.

• Look and Listen! Make sure all moving parts
have stopped.

• Put blocks in front of and behind the wheels of
the machine before working on or under the
machine.

Do not leave the tractor or implement unattended with the engine running.
Do not pull crop or any other object from the machine while the machine engine is running. Moving parts

can pull you in faster than you can move away.

Fig. 14

Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness, especially wheel mounting hardware.
Do not attempt to service or adjust the machine until all moving parts have stopped.
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness, especially wheel mounting hardware.
Be aware of the size of parts when doing service work. Never stand under or near a part being moved with

lifting equipment.
After unplugging, lubricating, servicing, cleaning, or adjusting the machine make sure all tools and

equipment have been removed.
Make sure electrical connectors are clean and free of dirt or grease before connecting.
Check for loose, broken, missing, or damaged parts. Make sure the machine is in good repair. Make sure

all guards and shields are in position.
Always raise implement, shut off tractor engine, apply the parking brake, shift to park position (or neutral)

remove the key and install the cylinder stops channels before working around the machine.
Avoid working under the machine. However, if it becomes unavoidable to do so, make sure the machine is

securely blocked and the cylinder lockup channels are in position.
When working around discs or shanks, be careful to not get cut on sharp edges.

Never service, check or adjust drive chains or belts
while the engine is running.

Fig. 15

1. Safety

18

Do not operate the machine with the drive shaft
shields open or removed. Entanglement in rotating
drive shafts can cause serious injury or death.

Stay clear of rotating components.
Make sure rotating guards turn freely.
A loose yoke can slip off a shaft and result in injury

to persons or damage to the machine.
When installing a quick disconnect yoke, the

spring activated locking pins must slide freely and
be seated in the groove on the shaft. Pull on the
driveline to make sure the quick disconnect yoke
can not be pulled off the shaft.

Remove spilled oil, antifreeze or fuel immediately
from the steps, platform, and other access areas.

Keep all access areas clean and free of
obstructions.

Fig. 16

1.4.2 Fire prevention and first aid

Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit handy for treatment of minor

cuts and scratches.
Always carry one or more fire extinguishers of the

correct type. Check fire extinguishers regularly as
instructed by the manufacturer. Make sure fire
extinguishers are properly charged and in
operating condition.

Due to the nature of the crops this machine will
operate in, the risk of fire is of concern. Use a
water type fire extinguisher or other water source
for a fire in crop.

For fires involving anything other than crop, such
as oil or electrical components, use a dry chemical
fire extinguisher with an ABC rating.

Mount fire extinguishers within easy reach of
where fires can occur.

Frequently remove accumulated crop material
from the machine and check for overheated
components. Check the machine daily for any
noises that are not normal. Such noises could
indicate a failed component that can cause excess
heat.

Fig. 17

Fig. 18

If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to

19

be done on the machine or attachments, make
sure to clear any crop material or debris from
around the area. Make sure the area below the
work area is clear of any flammable material as
falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the
material.

If fire occurs stand upwind and away from smoke
from the fire.

1.4.3 High pressure leaks

Fluid leaking from the hydraulic system or the fuel
injection system under high pressure can be very
hard to see. The fluid can go into the skin causing
serious injury.

Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours. If not removed
immediately, serious infection or reaction can
develop. Go immediately to a doctor who knows
about this type of injury.

Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks. Do not use your bare hand. Wear
leather gloves for hand protection and safety
goggles for eye protection.

Relieve all pressure before loosening any hydraulic
lines. Relieve the pressure by lowering raised
equipment, shutting off accumulator valve, if
equipped, and shutting off the engine. Tighten all
connections securely before applying pressure.

1.4.4 Tire safety

Check tires for cuts, bulges, and correct pressure.
Replace worn or damaged tires. When tire service
is needed, have a qualified tire mechanic service
the tire. Tire changing can be very hazardous and
must be done by qualified tire mechanic using
proper tools and equipment. See the
Specifications Section for the correct tire size.

Tire explosion and/or serious injury can result from
over inflation. Do not exceed the tire inflation
pressures. See the Specifications Section for the
correct tire pressure.

Do not inflate a tire that is seriously under inflated
or has been run flat. Have the tire checked by
qualified tire mechanic.

Do not weld on the rim when a tire is installed.
Welding will make an air/gas mixture that can
cause an explosion and burn with high
temperatures. This danger applies to all tires,
inflated or deflated. Removing air or breaking the
bead is not enough. The tire must be completely
removed from the rim prior to welding.

Fig. 22

When preparing a calcium chloride solution for
fluid ballast the tractor tires, never pour water onto
the calcium chloride. A chlorine gas can be
generated which is poisonous and explosive. This
can be avoided by slowly adding calcium chloride
flakes to water and stirring until they are dissolved.

When seating tire beads onto rims, never exceed

2.4 bar (35 psi) or the maximum inflation pressure
specified on the tire. Inflation beyond this
maximum pressure may break the bead, or even
the rim, with explosive force.

1.4.5 Replacement parts

Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
replacement parts must be used to restore your
equipment to original specifications.

The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for
installation of unapproved parts and/or accessories
and damages as a result of their usage.
