SECTION 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION - CHAPTER 1
00-5
DANGER
Failure of the hydraulic lift system may cause the
head or reel to fall rapidly. Lift cylinder stops
must be used in the lock position when working
around the head or reel in a raised position.
Failure to use lift cylinder stops may result in
serious injury or death.
8. Practice safety 365 days a year. Keep all your
equipment in safe operating condition. Keep
all guards and safety devices in place.
Always stop the machine before attempting
to unplug or service it.
CAUTION
A careful technician is the best insurance against
an accident. Extreme care should be taken to
keep hands and clothing away from moving
parts.
9. After servicing the grain head, make sure all
tools, parts, and service equipment are
removed from the head.
10. Do not allow children or bystanders around
the machine while it is being adjusted,
serviced, or operated.
11. Alwaysuse a safety stand in conjunction with
hydraulic jacks or hoists. Do not rely on the
jack or hoist to hold the load completely
because they could fail.
12. Always use safety glasses when using a
hammer, chisel, or other tools that may cause
chips to fly off the work.
13. Keep work area organized and clean. Wipe up
all oil spills to minimize the possibility of a
fall. Keep tools and parts off the floor to
further reduce the possibility or injury.
14. Be sure to reinstall safety devices, guards
and shields after adjusting or servicing the
grain head.
15. When using a gas torch, always wear welding
gloves and goggles. Keep a fully charged fire
extinguisher within easy reach. Use proper
shielding around hydraulic lines.
16. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin. Hydraulic fluid may infect a
cut. If injured by hydraulic fluid, see a doctor
at once.
17. To locate a hydraulic leak under pressure,
use a small piece of cardboard. Never use
your hands to locate a leak.
18. Do not attempt to repair or tighten hydraulic
hoses under pressure. Cycle all hydraulic
circuits to relieve all pressure before
disconnecting the lines or before performing
other work on the hydraulic system. Make
sure all connections are tight and hoses and
lines are in good condition before applying
pressure to the system.
