1.3 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:
– A hard hat
– Protective footwear with slip resistant soles
– Protective glasses or goggles
– Heavy gloves
– Wet weather gear
– A respirator or filter mask
– Hearing protection
Be aware that exposure to loud noise can cause
impairment or loss of hearing. Wearing suitable
hearing protection devices such as ear muffs or ear
plugs. These will help protect against objectionable
or loud noises.

SAFETY
•Wearclosefitting clothing and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.
• 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.
• Use only serviceand repair parts,made, or approvedby
the equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design, or safety requirements.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from moving
parts. Neve r attempt to clear obstructions or objects,
from a machine while the engine is running.
•DoNOT modify the machine. Non-authorized
modifications may impair machine function and/or
safety. It may also shorten the machine’s life.
Figure 1.5: Safety around Equipment
• Stop the engineand remove the keyfrom 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.
• Keep work area well lit.
• 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 anyvolatile material for
cleaningpurposes. These materialsmay be toxic and/or
flammable.
• When storing machinery, cover sharp or extending
components to prevent injury from accidental contact.

1.4 Maintenance Safety
To ensure your safety while maintaining the machine:
• Review the operator’s manual and all safety items
before operation and/or maintenance of the machine.
• Place all controls in Neutral, stop the engine, set the
park brake, remove the ignition key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, and/or
repairing.
• Follow good shop practices:
– Keep service area clean and dry.
– Be sure electrical outlets and tools are
properly grounded.
– Use adequate light for the job at hand.
• Relieve pressure fromhydraulic circuitsbefore servicing
and/or disconnecting the machine.
• Befo re applying pressure to a hydraulic system , make
sureall components are tight and that steellines, hoses,
and couplings are in good condition.
Figure 1.8: Safety around Equipment
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from all
moving and/or rotating parts.
• Clear the area of bystand ers especially children w hen
carrying out any maintenance and repairs or when
making any adjustments.
• Install transport lock or place safety stands under the
frame before working under the header.
• If more than one person is servicing the machine at the
same time, be aware that rotating a driveline or other
mechanically driven component by hand (for example,
accessing a lube fitting) will cause drive components in
other areas (belts, pulleys, and knife) to move. Stay
clear of driven components at all times.

1.5 Hydraulic Safety
• Always place all hydraulic controls in Neutral
before dismounting.
• Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system
are kept in good condition and clean.
• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped
hoses and steel lines.
•DoNOT attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic
lines, fittings,or hosesby usingtapes, clamps,cements,
or welding. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure. Such makeshift repairs will fail
suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.

1.6 Tire Safety
• Failure to followproper procedures when mountinga tire
on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion that may
result in serious injury or death.
•DoNOT attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper training and equipment.
• Haveaqualified tire dealer or repair service perform
required tire maintenance.

1.7 Safety Signs
• Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
• Replace safety signs that are missing or
become illegible.
• If original parts on which a safety sign was installed are
replaced, be sure the repair part also bears the current
safety sign.
• Safety signs are available from your Dealer
Parts Department.
