2.3 Information for operations
2.3.1 Field Operations
DANGER:
To provide a better view, certain illustrations in this manual show the machine with the
safety guards or covers removed. Keep all guards in place. Use drive shafts with adequate
protection devices.
• Before starting work the operator should familiarize himself thoroughly with all machine controls.
Ensure that the table has been properly attached.
The combine manufacturer shall not be held liable
if non-genuine tables are used
.
• During harvesting operations do NOT allow anyone to come near the machine. People nearby could be
knocked, struck or squashed by the machine or be trapped in the harvesting parts.
• Always drive the combine at a speed which, depending on ground conditions, provides the necessary
safety. When working
on rough ground
, proceed with great care to ensure machine stability. Always
use the seatbelts provided on the operator seat and on the other seat, if an instructor is present.
DANGER:
Risk of overturning.
• When taking the combine to work on slopes,
the operator must be thoroughly familiar with
machine controls and with working on sloping
ground.
The combine must not be used in the following
situations (this list is not exhaustive):
- When maximum allowable inclination is
exceeded (see the section
General
Information
in the chapter
Using the
combine harvester
).
- If correct securing of the cutting table to the
main crop elevator with the safety stops has
not been checked.
- If adequate ballast has not been applied to
balance the machine on the rear axle.
- If correct tyre pressures and proper
operation of the levelling system (if fitted)
have not been checked.
- If the ground is not sufficiently firm or
features sudden surface changes, or the
tyres do not have enough grip on the
ground.
- If working close to the edge of ditches or
steep drops.
