Introduction
This document contains information about technical aspects and safety requirements
pertaining to corn headers.
A.
General Concepts
The corn headers made by Fantini S.r.l. are designed to be coupled to any make of
combine by means of a special kit.
B.
Description and operation
The combines, self-propelled machines exclusively used for agricultural jobs, are
moving harvesters intended for grain crops.
The corn header made by
Fantini S.r.l.
does not work independently, in other words
its use is subject to coupling to a combine, from which it receives motion and all
commands.
The header must be used in a way that complies with its capabilities (see chapter 11 -
Technical Specifications - of the Use and Maintenance Manual).
C.
Safe use - General precautions
Due to their dangerousness, the machines must be driven exclusively by skilled and
duly trained personnel.
During machine use, you need to comply with all provision on worker health and safety
contained in the Consolidated Law 81/08.
Before starting any operation on the header, Fantini S.r.l. vividly suggest to consult the
Use and Maintenance Instruction Manual and to strictly comply with the guidelines
provided.
Fantini S.r.l. also recommend to pay attention to the safety warning images and
pictorials placed on the header in the vicinity of residual risks.
Table 1 describes general precautions that must be observed while operating with a
corn header.
