2.5. STORAGE SAFETY
• Store in an area away from human activity.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the stored machine.
2.6. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all components
are secure, hoses are in good condition, and couplings are tightly connected
and undamaged.
• Relieve pressure from hydraulic circuit before servicing or disconnecting from
tractor.
• Place stands or blocks under the frame before working beneath the machine.
• After maintenance is complete, replace and secure all safety guards and
safety devices, and if applicable, service doors and cleanout covers.
• Remove all tools and unused parts from machine before operation.
• Remove buildup of grease, oil, and debris.
• Inspect all parts. Ensure parts are in good condition and installed properly.
Use only genuine Wheatheart replacement parts or equivalent. Replacement
parts must meet ASAE standards or serious injury may result. Use of
unauthorized parts will void the warranty. If in doubt, contact Wheatheart or your
Wheatheart dealer.
2.7. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve system pressure
before disconnecting or working on hydraulic system.
• Keep all components in the hydraulic system tightly secured, clean and in
good condition.
• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses with
tape, clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic system operates under extremely
high pressure; such repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and
unsafe condition.
