Section-1 Safety
1.11. Operating Safety Practices (Cont.)
3. Keep safety decals, signs, and reflectors clean and
legible at all times.
4. Replace safety decals, reflectors and signs that are
missing or have become illegible.
5. When replacing a part that displays a safety decal,
reflector, and/or sign, make sure that the new part also
displays those items.
6. Safety decals, reflectors, or signs are available from
your dealer parts department.
7. Do not allow personnel on the equipment during
operation, except in areas specifically designed for
occupation.
8. The design and function of intake and discharge
mechanisms, e.g. belted chains, tables, blowers, Vine
Chains, chutes, and conveyors, mean they cannot be
fully protected. Therefore, keep a safe distance from
such moving parts when in operation. This advice
applies to all other similar systems and auxiliary
equipment.
9. Always keep clear of discharge areas of the
equipment, especially those with the risk of high speed
projectiles.
10. Before carrying out cleaning, maintenance, or repair
work, always switch off the engine/power, remove the
ignition key or otherwise lock out the power source,
and make certain the equipment has come to a
complete stop.
11. Unless troubleshooting requires exposure of shielded
components, only start up the machine when all safety
devices are attached and in the correct protective
position. The equipment should never be put into
operation if any safety devices have been opened or
removed. This includes shields, covers, flaps, and all
other engineered protective devices on the machine.
12. Dangerous components are located behind safety
covers. Moving parts do not necessarily come to a
standstill as soon as the drive is switched off. Keep
well clear of moving parts and keep protective shields
in place until all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill.
13. Never open safety devices such as covers, flaps, etc.
while the machine is in operation.
14. Never reach under or behind safety shields and
devices.
15. Keep clear of pinch points on opening/hinged covers
and guards.
1.12. Transporting/Towing Safety Practices
1. Use proper safety practices when hitching or
unhitching the machine to/from the tractor or towing
vehicle.
2. Never allow personnel to stand in front of, between, or
behind the tractor and machine unless the equipment
is secured against rolling. Secure the tractor and
machine using the parking brake and/or wheel chocks.
3. Never exceed the permissible nose weight of the
machine coupling.
4. Never exceed the permissible axle loads and total
weight of the tractor/towing vehicle. (See the tractor
Owner/Operator manual for the specifications.)
5. Before transport, secure all moving parts on the
machine using the retainers provided.
6. Only transport the machine when all safety devices are
attached and in the correct protective position.
7. Make sure the wheels are centered/locked into
position to ensure the machine will track straight
behind the towing vehicle.
8. Never allow personnel to ride on the machine during
transport.
9. Check the driving, steering, and braking response of
the tractor/towing vehicle and towed equipment before
entering public roads.
10. Maximum towing speed is 20 MPH (32 KPH).
11. The Slow Moving Vehicle sign (SMV), along with any
other lights and reflectors required by the local
highway and transport authorities, must be in place.
12. Lights and reflectors must be clean and visible to
overtaking and oncoming traffic.
13. Avoid excess speed to keep the towing vehicle and the
towed machine/equipment under control when going
down long and/or steep grades.
14. Before dismounting the tractor/towing vehicle, switch
off the engine, remove the ignition key, and secure the
towing vehicle and machine against rolling/unexpected
movement. Use the parking brake and/or wheel
chocks as necessary to prevent movement.
Exceeding the maximum towing speed could result in
catastrophic failure of the farm rated tires and wheels.
