SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Most agricultural accidents can be avoided by
observing simple safety rules.
ROAD TRANSPORT
Combine road transport
1.) The combine may be operated only by respon-
sible personnel, trained and authorised to work
with the machine. Avoid operating the combine
when physically unfit; it is better to interrupt
work than to risk an accident.
¥
WARNING:
Operators should not use alco-
hol or drugs which can effect their alert-
ness or coordination when operating the
combine. Operators on prescription or
over-the-counter drugs need a doctor's
note to certify that they can operate the
combine properly.
2.) In many countries (e.g. Italy and France) a driv-
ing licence is required if the combine is to be
driven on public roads.
3.) Operators should familiarise themselves with
the provisions of the Road Traffic Acts and of
the regulations thereunder in order to ensure
that, when taking the combine on public roads,
they comply with the relevant statutory require-
ments. They should keep a suitable speed for
road and traffic conditions and ensure that all
the machine safety devices (if required) are fit-
ted and working properly.
The grain tank must be empty and the
unloading auger must be turned in.
4.) For safety reasons, the two brake pedals must
be latched when travelling on roads. To hold
the machine on inclined ground, the handbrake
must be used (the braking effect of the hydro-
static drive alone is not sufficient).
5.) When travelling on roads, make sure that the
rotating beacons and the other additional sig-
nals required to warn that the vehicle is abnor-
mally large and slow-moving, are working
properly.
6.) When driving on roads, turn the cab access
ladder forward. When entering and leaving the
combine always use the ladders, handrails and
the handles provided. It is strictly forbidden to
ride on the access ladders to the cab, engine
compartment and grain tank when the machine
is moving.
7.) On the left-hand side of the operator seat there
is an additional seat that can be used by a
trainee during harvest.
No other persons are
allowed on the machine
.
¥
CAUTION
: This seat is not intended for
children.
In road transport, one person employed for
agricultural jobs is allowed in the passenger
seat, provided this is permitted by local regula-
tions and provided that a seat for transport of
a passenger on public roads is in accordance
with the combine documentation.
Always use the seatbelts provided on the oper-
ator seat and on the other seat, if an instructor
is present.
