8 MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICE
The following instructions are provided to assist
the operator in the maintenance of the CA20
Combine Adapter. Detailed maintenance,
service, and parts information are contained in
the Service Instruction Manual and Parts
Catalogue that are available from your dealer.
8.1 PREPARATION FOR SERVICING
CAUTION
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.
• Engage park brake.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
8.2 RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PROCEDURES
• Follow all recommendations in your
Adapter and Combine Operator's
Manuals.
• 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.
• 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.
