OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Always check the road and general
operating safety of the machine before
using. Make sure bystanders are in a safe
position before starting or operating the
machine. The operator must remain seated
while the machine is moving.
Learn how to operate the machine and how
to use controls properly. Do not let anyone
operate the combine without instruction.
Do
not operate the combine on side hills. Avoid
making sharp turns, especially when on
slopes or at high speeds. When making
turns, always remember the rear of the
combine swings out.
KEEP RIDERS OFF MACHINE
Only allow passengers and operators where
proper seating is supplied. Do not allow
people to climb on the combine while in
motion. Riders are subject to injury such as
being thrown from the machine. Riders also
obstruct the operator’s view, which is
unsafe.

times. They are protecting you from -
potential hazards due to moving parts.
Ensure that they are serviceable and
installed correctly.
Always disengage clutch, head, and
threshing cylinder, shut off engine, and
remove key before removing any guards or
shields or making any adjustments.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from
moving parts.
