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
operate in this condition.
Keep all guards in place.
1.) Before starting work the operator should
familiarise himself thoroughly with all machine
controls.
2.) Always drive the combine at a speed which,
depending on ground conditions, provides the
necessary safety. When working
on rough
ground
proceed with greatest care reducing
speed to ensure stability.
¥
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
touching the lines, particularly if the unloading
tube is turned out (see page 1-11).
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
working on slopes, lower the cutting table
completely.
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
diseases. 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
prescribed by national law. Replace or
recharge it whenever it has been used, even if
only partially.
The type of extinguisher approved for Europe
contains 6 kg of extinguishing agent and
belongs to fire class ABC.
A 160 mm Ø extinguisher is recommended
since a suitable bracket is already fitted on the
machine, near the hydraulic control valve.
