8.) It is advisable to keep a first-aid kit on hand.
9.) Do not brake abruptly as this could cause the
machine to swerve.
10.) When driving downhill, never exceed 20 km/h
and always stay in gear; never change into
neutral.
On steep slopes, change into a lower gear and
gradually engage the multifunction lever.
Avoid abrupt driving manoeuvres that might
cause the machine to overturn.
11.) In countries where travelling on roads with the
table attached is allowed when circumstances
permit, the table must be secured against low-
ering by engaging the safety stops on the
hydraulic cylinders and locking the main crop
elevator adapter.

Risk
of electrocution.
12.) Beware of overhead lines and check that the
combine can easily pass under without touch-
ing the lines, particularly if equipped with an
antenna. Take particular care when driving
through underpasses; make sure the machine
is able to pass through easily. In case of con-
tact between the machine and the power sup-
ply line, the following procedure must be
adopted:
a)
Disengage all drives.
b)
Switch off the engine.
c)
Apply the parking brake.
d)
Ensure that you can leave the operator
seat safely without touching the electrical
cables.
e)
Jump from the last step, making sure there
is no contact of body parts, ground and
machine.
f)
Do not touch the machine until the power
has been cut off. Anyone approaching the
machine must be informed not to touch it.
g)
Ask the power station to cut off the power.
13.) When driving on the road at night, the front
headlights must be dipped so that the low
beam line hits the ground no further than 10 m
in front of the vehicle.
The rotating beacons must always be operat-
ing, even when there is no need for visual sig-
nalling and lighting devices.
Switch off the work lights.
14.) Before driving on public roads, ensure the
machine is equipped for road transport (see
page 3-51).
¥
WARNING: The combine may be trans-
ported on public roads only with an
empty grain tank.
15.) If it is necessary to tow the combine due to a
mechanical breakdown, strictly follow the pro-
cedure indicated on page 1-41.
