Safety ruleS
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
• Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved
in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
• Make certain that the operator(s), prior to operating is instructed in safe and proper use and reviews and understands the manual(s) pertaining to this machine.
• Read this manual before you operate this machine. If you do not understand any part of this manual, or need
more information, contact the manufacturer or your authorized dealer.
SAFETY
• Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons are measured by how you service, and operate this
machine. Know the positions and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure to check
all controls in a safe area before starting your work.
• The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make
certain your machine has the proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.
• A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling off equipment and being run over. Do not
permit persons to ride on this machine.
• Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where
possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes
and rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
• Collision of high speed road trafc and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On roads,
use asher lights according to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to let faster
trafc pass.
• Make sure that the header is fastened securely to the transport before moving.
• Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the machine. NEVER position yourself under or near header when mounting on header transport.
• Never adjust, service, clean or lubricate the header transport until all power is shut off.
• Make sure that the implement is fastened securely to the tractor by using the proper hitch pin, clip and safety
chains.
• Before unhooking the implement from the towing unit, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the
implement from moving.
• Never overload the header transport. Overloading the header transport is dangerous and can cause extensive
damage.
• Do NOT exceed speeds in excess of 25 MPH. The header transport is designed for heavy loads at slow speeds.
Also be sure slow moving vehicle emblem is attached to rear of wagon.
• IMPORTANT: Use caution when transporting. Be alert of the transport unit’s overall width when approaching
obstacles, such as post signs and poles, along the road. Check the transport width of the unit to ensure clearance before entering bridges.
• COMPLY WITH ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE
COMBINE OPERATORS MANUAL.
• WARNING: BE SURE ALL LIGHTS ARE WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE HIGHWAY TRAVEL.
