7 MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
The following instructions are provided to assist
the operator in the use of the M100 Windrower.
Detailed maintenance, service, and parts
information are contained in the Service
Instruction Manual and Parts Catalog that are
available from your dealer.
7.1 PREPARATION FOR SERVICING
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, before servicing
adapter/header or opening drive covers:
• Fully lower the header. If necessary to
service in the raised position, always
engage lift cylinder stops.
• Disengage drives.
• Stop engine and remove key.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
7.1.1 Welding Precautions
IMPORTANT
High currents and voltage spikes
associated with welding can cause
damage to electronic components. Before
welding on any part of the windrower or an
attached header, disconnect all electronic
module harness connections as well as
the battery cables. These electronic
modules include;
• Engine Control Module (ECM)
• Cab Display Module (CDM)
7.2 RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PROCEDURES
• Wear close-fitting
clothing and cover
long hair. Never wear
dangling items such
as scarves or
bracelets.
• Wear protective shoes with slip-resistant
soles, a hard hat, protective glasses or
goggles and heavy gloves.
• If more than one person is servicing the
machine at the same time, be aware that
rotating a driveline or other mechanically
driven
component
by hand (for
example,
accessing a
lube fitting)
will cause drive components in other
areas (belts, pulleys, and sickle) to move.
Stay clear of driven components at all
times.
• Be prepared if an
accident should
occur. Know
where the first aid
kit and fire
extinguishers are
located and how
to use them.
• Keep the service
area clean and dry.
Wet or oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots
can be dangerous
when working with
electrical equipment.
Be sure all electrical
outlets and tools are
properly grounded.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
• Replace all shields removed or opened
for service.
• Park on a level surface when possible.
Block wheels securely.
• Use only service and repair parts made
or approved by the equipment
manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design or safety
requirements.
• Keep the machine clean. Never use
gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material
for cleaning purposes. These materials
may be toxic and/or flammable.
