SHIELDS
NOTE: Pictures in this manual may show shields
removed for visibility or access to parts of the
machine. Numerous shields must be opened and
or removed to perform normal service and
adjustment procedures.
m
WARNING: Never operate the machine or
allow others to operate the machine unless
all shields supplied with the machine and
the machine's attachments are properly in
place.
When using the header, always follow the following safety
precautions:
m
CAUTION: Do not operate unless all
shields are in place.
m
WARNING: Do not leave the operator's
platform unless the brake is set, the engine
is stopped, and the start key is removed.
m
DANGER: Never permit anyone to examine,
clean, lubricate or adjust any part of the flex
cutterbar, the header automatic lift, the reel
or the header itself unless:
The header is lowered until the header is setting on the
ground, the reel lift rams are either fully retracted or have
the reel lift ram stops properly engaged over the ram rods
of the right-hand and the left-hand reel lift rams, the
engine is stopped, the brake is set and the key is removed
from the start switch.
OR
The header is raised, the ram stop is fully engaged on the
header lift ram, the reel lift arms are either fully retracted
or have the reel lift ram stops properly engaged over the
ram rods of the right-hand and the left-hand reel lift rams,
the engine is stopped, the brake is set and the key is
removed from the start switch.
m
DANGER: When operating in muddy
conditions or where debris will possibly
occur, the finger sensors may become
jammed in the raised position and not
permit the header to drop in automatic
operation.
When this or any malfunction occurs, do not attempt to
free or move the fingers unless the header lift cylinder
stop in engaged as instructed on the danger decal for the
lift cylinder stop. To do so can cause the header to drop
suddenly and cause serious injury.
