2. Safety
Crop_this_page
5. Before starting the operator should familiarise himself thoroughly with the machine functions and their
operation, not least for his own safety. It may be too late once the machine is at work!
6. The operator's clothing must fit tight. Never wear loose clothes during combining.
7. Keep the machine clean to avoid fire hazard. The fire extinguisher is positioned on the right-hand side of
the cab ladder, see §3.9.2, page 68.
8. Check the immediate surroundings before starting (children!). Be sure to have a clear view. Never start
the machine unless persons near the machine are aware of your intentions to start.
9. Never allow any passengers on the machine when driving.
10. Before starting the engine make sure the machine is in neutral and that all safety guards are fitted and
secured.
11. Start the engine only from the operator seat. Never start by short-circuiting the electronic connections at
the starter, as the machine may then start moving instantly.
12. Never let the engine run in a closed room.
13. Handle fuel with caution. Fire hazard. Smoking and open fire should be avoided when refuelling.
14. Always stop the engine and remove the ignition key before refuelling. Never refuel in a closed building.
Remove spilled fuel immediately.
15. Handle brake fluid and battery acid with caution (noxious and caustic).
16. Never leave the operator platform on the move.
17. The forward speed must always be adapted to ground conditions. Avoid abrupt turns when driving up- or
down-hill or across steep slopes.
18. Never drive across a slope with an inclination of more than 25% (15°).
19. The combine may be transported on roads only with an empty, closed grain tank.
20. Never leave the combine without securing it against rolling (hand brake/sprags under the wheels). Stop
the engine, remove ignition key and main switch handle and lock the cab.
21. The operator seat is equipped with a safety switch to prevent unintentional movement of the combine
and operation of its mechanical parts. Do not make any changes which may put the safety function out
of operation.
22. Never leave the combine unattended when the engine is running.
23. Before leaving the combine lower the table completely.
24. Never work on or under the table and reel in raised position without securing them with all safety stops.
25. Be particularly cautious when mounting/dismounting the table and when attaching the table trailer.
26. As the function of table, maize header, table auger, elevator chain, knives, reel, etc. does not permit com-
plete shielding, be sure to keep safe distance from these parts during test and work.
27. Make sure that the transmission shaft is always properly fitted when the table is attached.
28. The straw chopper rotor will keep moving for some time after the chopper has been disengaged. There-
fore keep safe distance until the chopper has stopped completely.
29. As the function of the grain tank augers does not permit complete shielding, always use suitable tools
(rod or the like) to remove accumulated material in the grain tank.
30. Never enter the grain tank without stopping the engine and removing the ignition key from the switch,
to prevent that the machine is started unintentionally.
31. Before any repair, maintenance, cleaning or correction of functional faults is carried out, stop the engine
and disengage the threshing unit. Remove the ignition key from the switch.
32. Fluid under high pressure (fuel, hydraulic oil, etc.) spraying out may penetrate your skin and cause severe
injury. In that case, see a doctor immediately. Risk of infection!
33. Before carrying out any service or repair on the hydraulic system, make sure the particular function is low-
ered/relieved (without pressure).
34. Repair of the hydraulic system to be carried out only by a specialist workshop.
35. Before carrying out any work on the electrical system, remove ignition key and main switch handle.
36. Before carrying out any electric welding on machine or table, dismount the alternator cables and remove
the main switch handle.
