For fires involving anything other than crop, such
as oil or electrical components, use a dry chemical
fire extinguisher with an ABC rating.
Mount fire extinguishers within easy reach of
where fires can occur.
Frequently remove accumulated crop material
from the machine and check for overheated
components. Check the machine daily for any
noises that are not normal. Such noises could
indicate a failed component that can cause excess
heat.

1. Safety
If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to
be done on the machine or attachments, make
sure to clear any crop material or debris from
around the area. Make sure the area below the
work area is clear of any flammable material as
falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the
material.
If fire occurs stand upwind and away from smoke
from the fire.

1.4.3 High pressure leaks
Fluid leaking from the hydraulic system or the fuel
injection system under high pressure can be very
hard to see. The fluid can go into the skin causing
serious injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours. If not removed
immediately, serious infection or reaction can
develop. Go immediately to a doctor who knows
about this type of injury.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks. Do not use your bare hand. Wear
leather gloves for hand protection and safety
goggles for eye protection.
Relieve all pressure before loosening any hydraulic
lines. Relieve the pressure by lowering raised
equipment, shutting off accumulator valve, if
equipped, and shutting off the engine. Tighten all
connections securely before applying pressure.

1.4.4 Tire safety
Check tires for cuts, bulges, and correct pressure.
Replace worn or damaged tires. When tire service
is needed, have a qualified tire mechanic service
the tire. Tire changing can be very hazardous and
must be done by qualified tire mechanic using
proper tools and equipment. See the
Specifications Section for the correct tire size.
Tire explosion and/or serious injury can result from
over inflation. Do not exceed the tire inflation
pressures. See the Specifications Section for the
correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate a tire that is seriously under inflated
or has been run flat. Have the tire checked by
qualified tire mechanic.
Do not weld on the rim when a tire is installed.
Welding will make an air/gas mixture that can
cause an explosion and burn with high
temperatures. This danger applies to all tires,
inflated or deflated. Removing air or breaking the
bead is not enough. The tire must be completely
removed from the rim prior to welding.
1. Safety
Fig. 22
When preparing a calcium chloride solution for
fluid ballast the tractor tires, never pour water onto
the calcium chloride. A chlorine gas can be
generated which is poisonous and explosive. This
can be avoided by slowly adding calcium chloride
flakes to water and stirring until they are dissolved.
When seating tire beads onto rims, never exceed
2.4 bar (35 psi) or the maximum inflation pressure
specified on the tire. Inflation beyond this
maximum pressure may break the bead, or even
the rim, with explosive force.
1.4.5 Replacement parts
Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
replacement parts must be used to restore your
equipment to original specifications.
The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for
installation of unapproved parts and/or accessories
and damages as a result of their usage.
