Danger zone due to coasting machine parts
When the drives have been switched off, the following machine parts will coast:
– Universal shaft
– Header
– Feed drive rollers
– Chopping drum
– Corn conditioner
– Discharge accelerator
– Drive belts
As long as the machine parts are coasting, an alarm sounds.
On machines with a built-in main drive brake, an alarm only sounds if the drives have not come
to a standstill 10 seconds after switching off.
When machine parts are coasting, people may be seriously injured or killed.
• Wait until the coastdown alarm stops sounding.
• Do not touch machine parts until they have come to a standstill.
3.4.11 Keeping safety devices functional
If safety devices are missing or damaged, people may be seriously injured or killed by moving
machine parts.
• Replace damaged safety devices.
• Remount dismounted safety devices and all other parts before start-up and move them to
protective position.
• If it is doubtful whether all safety devices have been correctly installed and are functional,
have a service centre check them.
