1.3General 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
Figure 1.2
– Protective glasses or goggles
– Heavy gloves
– Wet weather gear
– A respirator or filter mask
– Hearing protection
Be aware that exposure to loud noise can c ause
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 lo n g 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 service and repair parts, made, or approved by
the equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design, or safety requirements.
• 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.
•Do NOT modify the machine.Non-authorized
modifications may impair machine function and/or safety.
It may also shorten the machine’s life.
Figure 1.5
• 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 e lectrical
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, o r 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.

1.4Maintenance 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.
–Besureelectricaloutletsandtoolsareproperly
grounded.
– Use adequate light for the job at hand.
• Relieve pressure from hydraulic circuits before servicing
and/or disconnecting the machine.
• Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make
sure all components are tight and that steel lines, hoses,
and couplings are in good condition.
Figure 1.8: Slip on Puddle
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from all moving
and/or rotating parts.
• Clear the area of bystanders espec ia lly children when
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
sametime,beawarethatrotatingadrivelineorother
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.
• Wear protective gear when working on the machine.
• Wear heavy gloves when working on knife components.

1.5Hydraulic 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.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic
lines, fittings, or hoses by using tapes, 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.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for
a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece of cardboard
as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify
aleak.
Figure 1.11: Checking Hydraulic Leaks
• If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from
hydraulic fluid piercing the skin.
• Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make
sure all components are tight and that steel lines, hoses,
and couplings are in good condition.
