Safety
Caution:
Hydraulic systems operate at high temperatures and at
high pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Avoid hazard by relieving pressure be-
fore disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure. If oil is hot allow adequate cooling period be-
fore adjusting or servicing hydraulic components on the platform.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard, NEVER USE YOUR
HAND. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids with suit-
able protective clothing.
If an accident occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Any oil injected at high pressure into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should refer to a
knowledgeable medical source.
Hydraulic System.
Caution: Hydraulic oil is a flammable liquid.
Never attempt to gas heat or weld any hydraulic components,
lines or oil reservoirs. To do so may cause an explosion, causing
serious injury or death. Repairs of this nature should be carried
out by a qualified tradesperson only.
Remove Crop Debris.
Remove crop debris from moving parts as this is a fire hazard. Check and clean these
areas frequently. Always disengage separator combine clutch, shut off engine, set
park brake and remove key before removing crop debris from Draper platform.
Rotating Parts.
Avoid contact with rotating parts as contact may cause death.
Do not operate drive shaft without shields in place.
Ensure drive shaft is securely attached at both ends
Avoid Toxic Fumes and Dust.
Remove paint before welding or heating. Hazardous fumes can be
generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering or using a torch.
Always do work in an area that is well ventilated to carry dust or fumes
away.
Wear an approved respirator while using solvent or paint stripper, grinding
or welding.
