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
responsible 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.
2.) In many countries (e.g. Italy and France) a
driving 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
requirements. They should keep a suitable
speed for road and traffic conditions and
ensure that all the machine safety devices (if
required) are fitted 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 brakes
must be used (the braking effect of the
hydrostatic drive, only, is not sufficient).
5.) When travelling on roads, make sure that the
rotating beacons and the other additional
signals required to warn that the vehicle is
abnormally 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
regulations and provided that a seat for
transport of a passenger on public roads is in
accordance with the combine documentation.
