SAFETY
Always place all combine hydraulic controls in neutral be-
1.
fore disconnecting from combine or working on hydraulic
system.
Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are
2.
kept in good condition and are clean.
Relieve pressure before working on the hydraulic system.
3.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or crimped
4.
hoses.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings
5.
or hoses by using tape, clamps or cements. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high-pressure. Such re-
pairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
Wear proper hand and eye protection
6.
when searching for a high-pressure
hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard as a backstop instead of
hands to isolate and identify a leak.
If injured by a concentrated high-
7.
pressure stream of hydraulic fluid,
seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can
develop from hydraulic fluid piercing
the skin surface.
Before applying pressure to the
8.
system, make sure all components
are tight and that lines, hoses, and couplings are not dam-
aged.
Keep bystanders, especially children, away from drive
1.
shafts.
Be extremely careful when working around PTO shafts,
2.
drivelines, or other rotating shafts.
Do not remove or modify protective shields or guards.
3.
Do not step across a PTO shaft or driveline or use it as a
4.
step.
Keep guards and shields in place at all times while operat
-
5.
ing.
Replace all damaged or missing parts or shields with the
6.
correct original manufacturer’s parts.
Grease, clean, and maintain PTO components according
7.
to original manufacturer’s specifications and information in
this manual.
Clothing worn by the operator must be fairly tight. Never wear
8.
loose-fitted jackets, shirts, or pants when working around the
drive shafts. Tie long hair back or put under a cap.
Keep hydraulic hoses, electrical cords, chains, and other
9.
items from contacting the drive shafts.
Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust the drive shafts when the
10.
reel is engaged and the combine is running.`
