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.

„Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

„Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

„Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo- nents in any way.

„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.

BLOCKING METHOD

To minimize the potential hazards of working under- neath the tiller, follow these procedures.

CAUTION

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

1.Jack stands with a load rating of 500 lbs or more are the only approve blocking device for this tiller. Install a minimum of two jack stands under the tiller before working underneath it.

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught 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.

„Before performing any service or maintenance, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

„Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres- sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

„Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

„Never perform service or maintenance with engine running.

2.Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit. Just placing jack stands underneath will not ensure your safety. The working surface must be level and solid to support the weight on the jack stands. Make sure the jack stands are stable, both top and bottom. Make sure the tiller is approximately level.

3.With the full weight of the tiller on the jack stands, test blocking stability before working underneath.

4.While the tiller is attached to the tractor, set the brakes and remove key before working under- neath.

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

Regular preventive maintenance and immediate repair of broken or worn parts will ensure maximum efficiency and long life.

Because of the nature of the jobs the rotary tiller does, the tiller is constantly vibrating and shaking. Parts may loosen up as it is used. One of the most important func- tions an operator can perform is observing and inspect- ing the equipment for loose or worn parts to prevent further damage or excessive downtime.
