1 INTRODUCTION
This instructional manual contains information on the D65 Harvest Header It must be used in conjunction with your Combine Operator's Manual.
The D65 Harvest Header
®
is specially designed as a straight cut header, and is equipped to work well in all
straight cut conditions, whether cutting on or above the ground. The CA25 Combine Adapter allows any D65 header to be easily attached to your specific combine. CAREFULLY READ ALL THE MATERIAL PROVIDED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOAD, ASSEMBLE, OR
USE THE MACHINE. Use this manual as your first source of information about the machine. If you follow the instructions given here,
your header will work well for many years. If you require more detailed service information, a Service Manual is available from your MacDon Dealer.
The Table of Contents and the Index will guide you to specific areas. Study the Table of Contents to familiarize yourself with how the material is organized.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference, and to pass on to new Operators or Owners.
A storage case for this manual is located inside the header left endshield.
Call your MacDon Dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of this manual.

SECTION 3. SAFETY
3.4 GENERAL SAFETY
CAUTION
The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery.
Protect yourself. When assembling,
operating and servicing machinery, wear all the protective clothing and personal safety devices that COULD be necessary for the job at hand. Don't take chances.
You may need:
o a hard hat. o protective shoes with slip
resistant soles.
o protective glasses or goggles. o heavy gloves. o wet weather gear. o respirator or filter mask.
Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine.
Be sure the extinguisher is properly maintained and be familiar with its proper use.
Keep young children away from
machinery at all times.
Be aware that accidents often happen
when the Operator is tired or in a hurry to get finished. Take the time to consider the safest way. Never ignore warning signs of fatigue.
Wear close-fitting clothing
and cover long hair.
Never wear dangling items
such as scarves or bracelets.
Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away
from moving parts. Never attempt to clear obstructions or objects from a machine while the engine is running.
A
B
o hearing protection. Be aware that
prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wearing a suitable hearing protective device such as ear muffs (A) or ear plugs (B) protects against objectionable or loud noises.
169593 16 Revision B
Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Make sure driveline guards can rotate independently of the shaft and can telescope freely.
(continued next page)
SECTION 3. SAFETY
Use only service and repair parts made
or approved by the equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not meet strength, design, or safety requirements.
Do NOT modify the machine.
Unauthorized modifications may impair the function and/or safety and affect machine life.
Stop engine, and remove key from
ignition before leaving Operator's seat for any reason. A child or even a pet could engage an idling machine.
Keep the area used for servicing
machinery clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working with electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
Use adequate light for the job at hand. Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff
on a hot engine are a fire hazard. Do NOT allow oil or grease to accumulate on service platforms, ladders or controls. Clean machines before storage.
Never use gasoline, naphtha or any
volatile material for cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or flammable.
When storing machinery, cover sharp or
extending components to prevent injury from accidental contact.
