1.5 SAFETY
Accidents can be prevented with your help.
All accident prevention depends on the full cooper-
ation of the persons using or involved with service
or maintenance of the machine.
Most accidents can be avoided by observing sim-
ple safety rules.
The safety system is only as comprehensive as the
operator allows in practising caution whenever run-
ning or servicing the machine.
Some of the illustrations contained in this manual
pertain to combine models of the same series,
which may be differently equipped. This means that
apparent discrepancies may result between any
particular combine and those depicted in this man-
ual.
