Maintenance

1.Before dismounting tractor or performing any service or maintenance, disengage power to implement, lower the 3- point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, stop engine, set parking brake, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

2.Never work under a raised loader. Always lower loader to the ground with bucket or loader attachment in full roll-back posi- tion. Shut off tractor, set park brake and remove key. Operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure.

3.Adjustment of system relief pressure should be done by a qualified, experienced Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer. Incorrect adjustment can result in system failures and serious personal injury.

4.Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing and head.

.5 Do not allow other people in the area when operating, attach- ing, removing, assembling or servicing equipment.

6.Ensure implement is properly attached, adjusted and in good operating condition.

7.Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service or maintenance.

8.Tighten all bolts, nuts and screws securely. Check that all cotter pins are installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe condition before operating.

9.Ensure all safety labels are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Labels later in this section)

10.Ensure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

11.Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until all system pressure is relieved. Lower unit to ground, stop engine, and operate all hydraulic control levers.

12.When servicing or replacing pins in cylinder ends, buckets, etc., always use a brass drift and hammer. Failure to do so could result in injury from flying metal fragments.

STORAGE

Block equipment securely for storage. Stored loader can fall and cause serious injury or death. Securely store loader and attach- ments to prevent falling. To help prevent injury caused by a falling implement, always:

1.Detach on a hard, level surface.

2.Keep children and bystanders away

3.Engage the tractor’s parking brake before detaching from storage area.

To provide necessary balance, loader frame must be equipped with bucket or attachment before attaching or detaching from tractor, or when loader is in stored position.

1.Do not loosen hydraulic fittings or hoses while loader is in stored position.

2.Do not climb or lean on equipment stored on stand.
