Noise Levels
The A-weighted sound pressure level inside the operator’s station of a typical self-propelled vehicle (e.g., M1170), when
operated in conjunction with this R1 SP Series Disc Header, is 70 dBA. This measurement was taken in accordance with
ISO 5131. The sound pressure level depends upon the rotary disc speed, crop conditions, as well the exact type of selfpropelled vehicle used to power the R1 SP Series Disc Header.

1.3 General Safety
CAUTION
The following general farm safety precautions should be part of
your operating procedure for all types of machinery.
Protect yourself.
• When assembling, operating, and servicing machinery, wear
all protective clothing and personal safety devices that could
be necessary for job at hand. Do NOT take chances. You may
need the following:
• Hard hat
• Protective footwear with slip-resistant soles
• Protective glasses or goggles
• Heavy gloves
• Wet weather gear
• Respirator or filter mask
• Be aware that exposure to loud noises can cause hearing
impairment or loss. Wear suitable hearing protection devices
such as earmuffs or earplugs to help protect against loud
noises.
• Provide a first aid kit in case of emergencies.
• Keep a properly maintained fire extinguisher on the machine.
Be familiar with its proper use.
Figure 1.2: Safety Equipment
Figure 1.3: Safety Equipment
• Keep young children away from machinery at all times.
• Be aware that accidents often happen when the operator is
tired or in a hurry. Take time to consider safest way. NEVER
ignore warning signs of fatigue.
Figure 1.4: Safety Equipment
215009 3 Revision A
SAFETY
• Wear close-fitting 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 shaft and can telescope freely.
• Use only service and repair parts made or approved by
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 engine is running.
• Do NOT modify machine. Unauthorized modifications may
impair machine function and/or safety. It may also shorten
machine’s life.
1000007
Figure 1.5: Safety around Equipment
• To avoid injury or death from unexpected startup of machine,
ALWAYS stop the engine and remove the key from the
ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
• Keep service area 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 is 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.

1.4 Maintenance Safety
To ensure your safety while maintaining machine:
• Review operator’s manual and all safety items before
operation and/or maintenance of 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 areas clean and dry
– Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded
– Keep work area well lit
• Relieve pressure from hydraulic circuits before servicing
and/or disconnecting machine.
• Make sure all components are tight and that steel lines,
hoses, and couplings are in good condition before applying
pressure to hydraulic systems.
Figure 1.8: Safety around Equipment
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from all moving
and/or rotating parts.
• Clear area of bystanders, especially children, when carrying
out any maintenance, repairs, or adjustments.
• Install transport lock or place safety stands under frame
before working under machine.
• If more than one person is servicing machine at same time,
be aware that rotating a driveline or other mechanicallydriven component by hand (for example, accessing a
lubricant fitting) will cause drive components in other areas
(belts, pulleys, and knives) to move. Stay clear of driven
components at all times.
• Wear protective gear when working on machine.
• Wear heavy gloves when working on knife components.

SAFETY
1.5 Hydraulic Safety
• Always place all hydraulic controls in Neutral before
dismounting.
• Make sure that all components in hydraulic system are kept
clean and in good condition.
• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses
and steel lines.
• Do NOT attempt any makeshift repairs to hydraulic lines,
fittings, or hoses by using tapes, clamps, cements, or welding.
The hydraulic system operates under extremely highpressure. Makeshift repairs will fail suddenly and create
hazardous and unsafe conditions.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for
high-pressure hydraulic leaks. Use a piece of cardboard as a
backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
• 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.

Figure 1.11: Testing for Hydraulic Leaks
• Make sure all components are tight and steel lines, hoses,
and couplings are in good condition before applying pressure
to a hydraulic system.

SAFETY
1.6 Welding Precaution
Welding should never be attempted on the header while it is connected to a windrower.
WARNING
Severe damage to sensitive, expensive electronics can result from welding on the header while it is connected to the
windrower. It can be impossible to know what effect high current could have with regard to future malfunctions or
shorter lifespan. It is very important that welding on the header is not attempted while the header is connected to the
windrower.
If an Operator needs to do any welding on the header, it should first be disconnected and removed from the windrower.
