5. Servicing and Maintenance
5.7 Maintenance and
Lubrication
Proper servicing and maintenance is the
key to long implement life. With careful and
systematic inspection, you can avoid costly
maintenance, downtime and repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor
key before making any adjustments or
performing any maintenance.
You may be severely injured or killed by
being crushed under a falling implement.
Always use suitable supports when working
near or under a raised implement.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin.
Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before
applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use
paper or cardboard, not body parts, and
wear heavy gloves to check for suspected
leaks. If injured, seek immediate medical
attention from a health care provider
familiar with this type of injury.
Securely lock up drill before working on it.
Lubricate areas listed under “Maintenance
Overview” on page 74.
Check for air leaks at covers, doors, seals,
caps and hose connections.
Inflate tyres as specified on “Tyre Inflation
Chart” on page 80.
Replace any worn, damaged or illegible
safety decals. Order new decals from your
Great Plains dealer.
5.8 Handling of
Lubricants
Please ensure that you read the following
instructions as well as the relevant
information. This also applies to any of your
employees who handle lubricants.
Hygiene
Lubricants do not present a health hazard
provided they are used for their specified
purpose.
In the case of prolonged skin contact,
lubricants - especially low-viscosity oils
- may remove the natural layer of fat
contained in the skin, resulting in dryness
and possible irritation.
It is important to take extreme care when
handling waste oil as it may contain other
irritants.
Vapours given off by cleaning agents and
oils are also a potential health hazard. You
should therefore not carry any oily cloths
around. Change soiled work clothing as
soon as possible.
Always exercise extreme care and observe
the recommended hygiene rules when
handling mineral oil products. Details of
these handling regulations can be found
in information provided by the health
authorities.
Storage and Handling
• Always store lubricants where they cannot
be accessed by children.
• Never store lubricants in open or
unlabelled containers.
Fresh Oil
• Apart from taking the usual care and
observing hygiene rules, there is no need
to take any special precautions when
handling fresh oil.
