SAFETY
Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you operate and service this
machine. Know the positions and operations of all controls before you try to operate them. MAKE SURE YOU
CHECK ALL CONTROLS IN A SAFE AREA BEFORE STARTING YOUR WORK.
READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY and make sure you understand the controls. All equipment has a limit.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, insurance needs, federal, state and
local laws. Make sure your machine has the correct equipment needed as designated by the local laws and
regulations.
The CNH America LLC is continuing to work for your safety by making Combines with better protection and by
giving these rules for safe operation.
● Operate controls only when seated in the operator’s seat. R137A
● Never operate the machine with shields removed. R423
● Never refuel the machine when the engine is hot or running. Never smoke while refueling. R139C
● Hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause infection or other injury. To
Prevent Personal Injury:
- Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting fluid lines or performing work on the hydraulic system.
- Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and components are in good condition.
- NEVER use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure.
- Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
- If injured by leaking fluid, see your doctor immediately.
R149C
● The engine can start when the neutral or safety start switch is bypassed:
1. Do not connect across terminals on starter.
2. Attach a booster battery by connecting the positive terminal of the booster battery to the “positive terminal”
provided at the left front of the machine or to the positive terminal of the machine battery. Connect the negative
terminal of the booster battery to the chassis of the machine.
3. When necessary, repair electrical system components promptly so that “jump starting” will not be attempted.
Machine runaway can cause injury or death to operator and bystanders.
R107D
● Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where
possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes,
and on rough, slick, or muddy surfaces.
R109B
● Collision of high speed road traffic and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On roads,
use flasher/lights according to local laws. Keep SMV emblem visible. Pull over to let faster traffic pass. Slow
down and signal before turning off.
R110E
● The Brake Latch is used to lock both Brake Pedals together. Brake pedals must be locked together for road
travel. This will insure uniform brake application and maximum stopping ability.
