● Due to the flammable nature of the crop materials encountered by Combine, fire risks are high. This risk can be
minimized by frequent removal of accumulated crop material from the machine and checking for overheated
machine components. If oil leaks appear, retorque bolts or replace gaskets as necessary.

● Remove all trash or debris from the machine each day. Especially check the engine area and exhaust system.
● Sparks or flame can cause the hydrogen gas in a battery to explode. To prevent an explosion do the following:
1. When disconnecting the battery cables, disconnect the negative (-) cable first; when connecting the battery
cables, connect the negative (-) cable last.

Battery connections in this manual).
3. Do not short circuit the battery posts with metal items.

● Engine fuel can cause an explosion or fire. Do not fill the fuel tank with the engine running; if you are near an
open fire; or if you are welding, smoking, etc.
● If the machine has an oil, fuel or hydraulic leak, always repair the leak and clean the area before operating.
● Check the electrical system for loose connections or frayed insulation. Repair or replace the loose or damaged
parts.
