cutting table, ensure that the local traffic
regulations (lights, correctly fitted trailer hitch
etc.) are complied with. Ensure the cutter bar
protection shield is fitted.
Parking the Combine
¥
DANGER:
Risk of squeezing, cutting or
getting trapped.
1.) Never leave the cutting table in raised position
when the combine is stationary.
2.) Always park the combine on level ground. If
parking on level ground is not possible, park
the combine across the slope, engage first
gear and apply the handbrake before stopping
the engine. If it is not possible to park as
described above, proceed as follows:
• Downhill parking: Engage the lowest
reverse gear. On machines with hydrostatic
drive, pull the multifunction lever slightly
backward until the drive engages, switch off
the engine and lock the parking brake. Get
off the machine and place sprags (if
available) or a solid object of a suitable size
in front of the traction wheels.
• Uphill parking: Engage the first gear, push
the multifunction lever forward until the
drive engages, switch off the engine and
pull the parking brake. Get off the machine
and place sprags (if available) or a solid
object of a suitable size behind the traction
wheels.
In any case, before leaving the combine
unattended, switch off the engine, remove
the ignition key and lower the cutting table.
Always keep the parking brake in good repair to
ensure it is capable of holding the machine on
inclinations up to 18-20% max. both uphill and
downhill when the grain tank is empty. Sprags
under the wheels will hold the machine uphill
and downhill provided the ground is sufficiently
firm. Sprags are supplied even for countries
where they are not required by law. The sprags
may be used only as additional safety not as
parking means, on inclinations of more than
18-20%.
