FIELD OPERATIONS
¥
DANGER
: To provide a better view, certain
illustrations in this manual show the
machine with the safety guards removed.
However, the machine should never oper-
ate in this condition.
Keep all guards in place.
1.) Before starting work the operator should famil-
iarise himself thoroughly with all machine con-
trols.
Ensure that the table has been properly
attached. The combine manufacturer shall not
be held liable if non-genuine tables are used.
2.) 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 oper-
ator seat and on the other seat, if an instructor
is present.
¥
DANGER
: Risk of overturning.
3.) When taking the combine to work on slopes,
the operator must be thoroughly familiar with
machine controls and with working on sloping
grounds. Drive at slow speed, in particular
while turning and when the grain tank is full.
Ensure that the ground is sufficiently firm
with no sudden surface changes and that
the tyres have enough grip on the ground
.
¥
DANGER
: Risk of electrocution.
4.) Beware of overhead lines and check that the
machine can easily pass under without touch-
ing the lines, particularly if the unloading auger
is turned out or if the grain tank cover is open.
5.) Proceed with greatest care when working with
the wheels
close to the edge of ditches or
steep drops.
6.) If the machine tends to tilt forward when work-
ing on slopes, lower the cutting table com-
pletely.
7.) Avoid turning at high speeds.
¥
DANGER
: Risk of squeezing, cutting or
getting trapped.
8.) If any moving part becomes blocked or
jammed,
release it only when the engine is
switched off and all drives have come to a
complete stop. Never push the crop into the
main crop elevator by hand or feet. This
could result in danger to life or severe injury
.
¥
DANGER
: Risk of breathing in dust.
9.) Threshing dust may cause allergic lung dis-
eases. The dust may also contain residues of
pesticides injurious to health. Keep the cab
door shut when threshing. Wear a protection
mask when carrying out service work involving
exposure to dust (cab filters, rotary screen etc.)
and when working with compressed air.
10.) Keep a fire extinguisher within easy reach.
Check the extinguisher at the intervals pre-
scribed by national law. Replace or recharge it
whenever it has been used, even if only par-
tially. The type of extinguisher approved for
Europe contains 6 kg of extinguishing agent
and belongs to fire class ABC. We recommend
checking the dimensions of a potential new
extinguisher to ensure that it can be stored
underneath the operator's seat.
