1.4 SAFETY
Accidents can be prevented with your help.
All accident prevention depends on the full
cooperation of the persons using or involved with
service or maintenance of the machine.
Most accidents can be avoided by observing
simple safety rules.
The safety system is only as comprehensive as the
operator allows in practising caution whenever
running 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
manual.
