REPAIR/MAINTENANCE

Hydraulics

• Use caution when working with hydraulic fluid under pressure. Escaping hydraulic fluid can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin, causing serious injury. This fluid may also be hot enough to burn.

• Always lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before repairing a hydraulic oil leak.

• Avoid torching, welding, and soldering near pressurized hydraulic lines.

Fueling

• Always turn the engine off and allow it to cool before refueling.

• Do not smoke while refueling.

• Do not fill fuel tank completely. Fuel may expand and run over.

GENERAL REPAIR/MAINTENANCE

• Turn off engine before checking, adjusting, repairing, lubricating, or cleaning any part of the detasseler.

• When servicing the radiator, let engine cool before removing pressurized cap.

• Disconnect the battery ground cable before servic ing electrical system or welding on machine.

• When charging battery, connect positive cable to positive terminal and negative cable to negative terminal. Failure to do so may result in an explosion and cause injury. Likewise, avoid battery acid contact and incurring injuries.

Decals warning you of avoidable danger are located on various parts of the detasseler. They are there for your personal safety and protection. DO NOT remove them. They will fracture upon attempted removal and therefore must be replaced.

Following are locations of important safety decals. Replace them if they are torn or missing. All warning decals and other instructional Hagie decals or machine striping may be purchased through the Hagie Customer Support Department.
