4.3 Noise level
The European Directive 2003/10/EC directs employers and employees to
control the noise level at work. The noise level at field work may differ
according to the tractor, ground, crops and other environmental conditions.
In normal conditions, whilst driving the machine, the noise level to the driver’s
ear does not exceed 70 dB (A) with the rear screen of the tractor cabin open.
The common noise level of the machine and the tractor is primarily influenced
by the tractor noise (radio is an additional noise source). It is recommended to
operate this machine with closed cabin windows.
4.4 Fire precautions
Be aware that crops are easily inflammable.
Do not smoke or make use of any open fire next to the machine.
A functioning fire extinguisher should always be available on the tractor.
The machine is to be kept clear of oil, grease, crops, string, plastic or any
other flammable material at all times.
Do not continue to work with overheated parts, cables or pipes, unless you
have identified and eliminated the reason for overheating.
Check bearings for early warning signs of wear or damage and replace if
necessary. Always be on alert for bearings that are squeaky or noisy despite
being well lubricated and bearing housings that are running very hot
especially with a burning smell or paint discolouration.
4.5 Special safety devices/instructions
The owner of the machine is obliged, by law, to ensure that all safety devices
are installed on the machine and are in good functioning condition.
Always use protective gloves when replacing knife blades in the ‘Cut and
Hold’.
