3. OPERATION OF FARM MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT

4. Operation of farm machinery R efers to the process of using and controlling various mechanical and motorized equipment designed for agricultural purposes. 4

5. Operation of farm machinery Pre-Operation Inspection: Check Fluid Levels: Ensure that engine oil, hydraulic fluid, coolant, and fuel levels are adequate. Inspect Tires: Check for proper inflation and any signs of wear or damage. Safety Devices: Confirm that safety guards, shields, and roll-over protective structures (ROPS) are in place and functional. Electrical Systems: Test lights, signals, and battery connections. 5

6. Operation of farm machinery 2. Starting the Machinery: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for starting procedures. Ensure all controls are in neutral or park before starting. Allow the engine to warm up before operation. 6

7. Operation of farm machinery 3. Operational Procedures: Engage and Disengage: Engage and disengage the equipment gradually to avoid damage. Monitor Gauges: Regularly check engine temperature, oil pressure, and other gauges while operating. Load Management: Avoid overloading the machinery; follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for load limits. Terrain Awareness: Be mindful of the terrain; avoid operating machinery on excessively steep or uneven ground. 7

8. Operation of farm machinery 4. Shutting Down: Follow proper shutdown procedures, including disengaging all implements, reducing throttle, and allowing the engine to cool. Turn off the ignition and remove the key. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. 8

9. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER OPERATION 1. Efficiency: Well-operated machinery can complete tasks faster and with less effort, leading to higher productivity. 2. Safety: Proper operation minimizes the risk of accidents and injuries to operators and others on the farm.

10. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER OPERATION 3. Cost-Effectiveness: Efficient use reduces wear and tear, leading to lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life. 4. Quality of Work: Correct operation ensures that agricultural tasks are performed accurately, leading to better crop yields and farm output.

11. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER OPERATION 5. Environmental Impact: Properly operated machinery can reduce waste and environmental damage, such as soil compaction and fuel emissions.

12. MAINTENANCE OF FARM MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT

13. MAINTENANCE of farm machinery R efers to the systematic care and servicing of agricultural equipment to ensure it remains in good working condition, operates efficiently, and has a long lifespan. 13

14. MAINTENANCE of farm machinery Daily Maintenance: Cleaning: Clean the machinery to remove dirt, debris, and crop residues. Lubrication: Lubricate moving parts as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Inspection: Conduct a visual inspection for any signs of wear, leaks, or damage. 14

15. MAINTENANCE of farm machinery 2. Regular Servicing: Oil and Filter Changes: Change engine oil and filters at recommended intervals. Hydraulic Systems: Check and replace hydraulic fluids and filters regularly. Air Filters: Clean or replace air filters to ensure efficient engine performance. Battery Maintenance: Check battery terminals for corrosion and ensure proper electrolyte levels. 15

16. MAINTENANCE of farm machinery 3. Seasonal Maintenance: Pre-Season Checks: Before the planting or harvest season, perform a thorough inspection and servicing of all machinery. Post-Season Storage: Clean, service, and store machinery properly at the end of the season to prevent damage during the off-season. 16

17. MAINTENANCE of farm machinery 4. Repairs and Replacement: Worn Parts: Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to avoid further damage. Professional Servicing: For complex issues, seek professional servicing to ensure machinery is repaired correctly. 17

18. MAINTENANCE of farm machinery 5. Record Keeping: Maintain detailed records of all maintenance activities, repairs, and parts replacements. Track the hours of operation to schedule timely servicing. 18

19. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 19 Training: Ensure that all operators are properly trained in the use and maintenance of the equipment. 2. Protective Gear: Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, safety glasses, and hearing protection.

20. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 20 3. Emergency Procedures: Be familiar with emergency shutoff procedures and first aid measures. 4. Manuals and Guidelines: Always refer to the manufacturer’s manuals and guidelines for specific operation and maintenance instructions.

21. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER MAINTENACE 1. Increased Longevity: Regular maintenance extends the life of the machinery, ensuring it remains functional for many years. 2. Enhanced Efficiency: Well-maintained equipment operates more efficiently, leading to better performance and fuel economy.

22. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER MAINTENACE 3. Reduced Downtime: Preventive maintenance reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns, minimizing downtime and production delays. 4. Safety: Properly maintained machinery is safer to operate, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries

23. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER MAINTENACE 5. Cost Savings: Routine maintenance helps avoid costly repairs and replacements, ultimately saving money in the long run.

24. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 1. Daily Maintenance: Basic checks and cleanups to ensure the machinery is ready for use. Inspecting for any obvious issues that need immediate attention. 2. Weekly Maintenance: More thorough inspections and servicing, including fluid top-ups and minor adjustments. Cleaning and lubricating key components.

25. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 3. Monthly Maintenance: Comprehensive checks and servicing, such as oil changes and filter replacements. Inspecting and servicing more complex systems like hydraulics and electrical components.

26. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 4. Seasonal Maintenance: Major servicing and preparation for seasonal tasks. Storing machinery for off-season periods, including draining fluids and disconnecting batteries.
