SERVICING THE TRACTOR
Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions. To help prevent accidents, read and take the following precautions before servicing the tractor.
1.The cooling system operates under pressure which is controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system is hot. Always turn the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure to escape before removing the cap entirely. Wear gloves when removing the cap.
2.Do not smoke while refueling the tractor. Keep any type of open flame away.
3.Keep the tractor and equipment, particularly brakes and steering, maintained in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure your safety and comply with legal requirements.
4.To prevent fire or explosion, keep open flames away from the battery or cold- weather starting aids. To prevent sparks which could cause explosion, use jumper cables according to instructions.
5.Do not attempt to service the air conditioning system. It is possible to suffer severe frost bite or injury from escaping refrigerant. Special equipment and instruments are required to service the air conditioning system which uses R134A refrigerant. See your authorized Buhler Versatile dealer for service.
6.Stop the engine before performing any service on the tractor.
7.Escaping diesel/hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
-DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
-Stop the engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting lines.
-Tighten all connections before starting the engine or pressurizing lines.
-If fluid is injected into the skin, obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.
8.Do not modify, alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the tractor or any of its components or any tractor function without first consulting an authorized Buhler Versatile dealer.
9.The fuel oil in the injection system is under high pressure and can penetrate the skin. Unqualified persons should not remove or attempt to adjust a pump, injector, nozzle or any other part of the fuel injection system. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury.
