OWNER SERVICE

The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians available. For your protection, read and follow the safety informa- tion in this manual.

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

Before working underneath, disconnect drive- line from tractor, lower wings to ground, raise cut- ter, and pin transport bar in raised position. Attach parking jack and lower to ground. Securely block all four corners of center section and each wing with jack stands. Blocking up prevents the cutter from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydrau- lic system failure, or mechanical component fail- ure.

Service and maintenance work not covered in OWNER SERVICE must be done by a qualified dealership. Special skills, tools, and safety proce- dures may be required. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.

Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug- ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu- tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

Never perform service or maintenance with engine running.

CAUTION

If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

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; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

BLOCKING METHOD

To minimize the potential hazards of working under- neath the cutter, follow these procedures:

Before performing any service or maintenance, lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured. Never place any part of the body under- neath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect- edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper- ator's Manual instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.

Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause cut- ter to fall.

1.Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs. or more are the only approved blocking device for this cutter. Install jackstands (shown by Xs in Figure 5) under the cutter before working underneath unit.

2.Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit. Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure your safety.

The working surface must be level and solid to support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure jackstands are stable, both top and bottom. Make sure cutter is approximately level.

3.With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test blocking stability before working underneath.

4.If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before working underneath.

5.Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.
