Never use the combine for anything but threshing. Manual feeding of crops onto the cutting table is pro- hibited. Before starting, particularly reversing, make sure that everybody nearby is aware of your intentions. Test the brakes as soon as you start, and stop immedi- ately if the brakes or steering operate defectively.

In Case of an Accident If there is an accident despite all precautions, keep calm and consider carefully what to do. First try to re- verse the combine away from the power line. If there are other people near, ask them to check that the com- bine is not stuck in the line.

FIRE SAFETY Two factors are needed to start a fire: flammable material and ignition; oxygen is always available. Threshing generates a lot of light and highly flammable dust.
MARKING THE DANGER POINTS Although an effort has been made to build the combine as safe to use as possible, there are certain risks involved in its use. These are to be kept in mind when operating the combine. The danger points have been marked on the combine using hazard pictorials.
