NOTES

Safety
SAFETY
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
FIG. 1: This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol
stands for ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR
SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Look for this symbol, both in this
manual and on safety decals on the combine. This
symbol will direct you to information that includes your
personal safety and the personal safety of others.
SIGNAL WORDS
FIG. 2: The words DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION
are used with the safety alert symbol. Learn to know
these safety alert symbols, and follow the given
recommendations, precautions, and safe procedures.
m
DANGER: Indicates an immediate
hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will
result in DEATH OR VERY SERIOUS
INJURY.
m
WARNING: Indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that, if not avoided, can
result in DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
m
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that, if not avoided, can
result in a MINOR INJURY.
Replace any DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, or
instruction decal that can not be read or is missing. The
location and part number of these decals is shown later in
this section of the manual.
IMPORTANT: The word IMPORTANT is used to show
special instructions or procedures which, if not
followed can result in damage to, or destruction
of the machine, process, or the surroundings.
NOTE: The word NOTE is used to indicate points of
special interest for more efficient and easier
repair or operation.
FIG. 1
Saf
FIG. 2
Wc1957

Safety
FIG. 3: Read and understand this manual and the
manual for all attachments before operating the combine.
Learn how to operate the combine and how to use the
controls properly.
Do not operate the combine without instruction and
training.
For your personal safety and the personal safety of
others, follow all safety precautions and instructions found
in the manual and on decals fastened to the combine and
the attachments.
Personal injury or death can result if these precautions
are not followed.
FIG. 4: Be prepared for an emergency. Always carry one
or more suitable fire extinguishers - ABC rating, dry
chemical, 2.2 kg (5 lb). Check fire extinguishers regularly
to make sure extinguishers are properly charged and in
operating condition.
Mounting a fire extinguisher near the cab and a fire
extinguisher near the engine compartment is a
recommendation.
To reduce the risk of fire, frequently remove crop material
from the combine and engine platform and check for
components becoming too hot.
Keep a first aid kit close for treatment of minor cuts and
scratches.
FIG. 5: Wear close fitting clothing and personal
protection equipment correct for operating or doing
lubrication and maintenance on the combine. Tie up long
hair to prevent the hair from becoming entangled in the
moving parts.
m
WARNING: An operator must not use
alcohol or drugs which can affect alertness
or coordination. An operator taking
prescription or over the counter drugs
needs medical advice on whether or not the
operator can properly operate machines.

Safety
FIG. 6: Face the ladder and use the handrails when
getting on or off the combine.
FIG. 7: Never operate the engine in a closed building
unless exhaust is vented outside.
FIG. 8: Make sure that all shields, guards, and access
doors are in location and properly closed before starting
the engine.
Start the engine from the operator seat only. Be sure that
the transmission is in neutral and the header, separator,
and unloader clutches are disengaged.
Be sure that every person is clear of the combine before
starting the engine.
FIG. 9: Always wear the seat belt when the combine is
moving. If another person is riding in the instructor seat
that person must wear the seat belt. Seat belts must be
worn fitted snugly around the hips and not twisted.

Safety
FIG. 10: Never permit any person to be on any part of
the combine or the attachments except in the operator
seat or the instructor seat when the engine is running.
Do not get on or off the combine while the combine is
moving.
FIG. 11: Prevent contact with electrical power lines.
Always put the grain tank unloader tube in the transport
position and lower radio antenna before moving the
combine near electrical wires. Contact with electrical
power lines can cause electrical shock, very serious
injury, or death.
FIG. 12: Use extra caution and reduce speed when
operating on hill sides, near ditches or embankments
especially with a full grain tank to prevent an over turn of
the combine. Travel speed must be such that the machine
has complete control and stability at all times. Shift to a
lower gear before going down a steep hill.
FIG. 13: Always turn off the engine, shift the
transmission to neutral, set parking brake, and remove
the start key before leaving the operator seat or before
permitting a person to inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust, or
repair any part of the combine or the attachments. Unless
specifically given instruction different in this manual.
Never leave the operator seat as long as the engine is
operating.

Safety
FIG. 14: Never work under the header or feeder house,
unless the stop is properly engaged on the header lift
cylinder, the engine is stopped, the parking brake is set,
and the start key is removed from the start switch.
FIG. 15: Fluid under high pressure can be almost
invisible but can go into the skin causing serious injury.
See a doctor immediately if you sustain an injury from
escaping fluids. Fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene can
result.
FIG. 16: Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks. Never use your hands.
Relieve pressure from the hydraulic and fuel injection
systems by lowering raised equipment, shutting off
accumulator valve, and turning off the engine before
loosening any part of the systems. Tighten all
connections securely before applying pressure.
FIG. 17: The surfaces in and around the engine
compartment will be hot if the engine has been running,
even for a short time.
Always permit parts that contain hot fluid to cool before
handling or disconnecting.

Safety
FIG. 18: Do not remove radiator cap if engine is hot.
Only remove the cap when the cap is cool enough to
touch with bare hands. Loosen cap slowly to first notch to
relieve pressure, then remove cap.
FIG. 19: Remove any spilled oil, antifreeze, or fuel
immediately from operator ladder and platform and other
access areas.
Keep all access areas clean and free of obstructions.
FIG. 20: Never permit any flame cutting, welding, or arc
welding to be done on or near the sound proofing
upholstery used in the cab. This material is flame resistant
to normal exposure to cigarettes or other smoking
material. But will ignite and sustain combustion when
exposed to the heat of gas or electrical welding. The build
up of chaff and crop debris in the engine compartment, on
the engine, and near moving parts is a fire hazard. Check
and clean these areas frequently.
FIG. 21: Always stop the combine engine before fueling.
Do not smoke while fueling.
