Safety in the workshop

This section on safety in your workshop manual is
designed to point out some of the basic safety situations
that can occur in the course of normal combine repairs,
and to suggest possible ways of dealing with such situa-
tions.
Further measures may be needed, depending on the
nature of the repair and the working conditions on site or
in the workshop. AGCO has no direct control over repair
methods, operation, inspection, lubrication or general
maintenance. It is therefore YOUR responsibility to use
good safety procedures in these areas.
0.4.2

Safety - a word to the mechanic

chapter on safety before carrying out repairs on AGCO

Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
routines protect not just you, but also the people around
you. Study the principles in this chapter and make them
part of your safety work. Follow all other general and sup-
plier-specific safety precautions, and above all REMEM-
BER - YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY. YOU CAN

Nearly all maintenance work involves having to drive the
combine. The operator's manual supplied with all com-
bines or implements contains detailed safety precautions
with regard to driving, operation and maintenance. These
precautions apply to both the mechanic and driver/user
and should be read, understood and practised by all per-
sonnel.
Before starting maintenance, repair, inspection, disman-
tling or assembly, whether in a workshop or "in the field",
think about the factors that might affect safety, not just
for the mechanic doing the work, but also for any onlook-
ers.
• You must NOT allow children or onlookers to stand
around or on the machine while you are adjusting,
inspecting, repairing or driving it.
0.4.6
Clothing
• Wearing the wrong clothes or dressing carelessly can
cause accidents. Ensure that you are wearing suitable
clothing. You must NOT wear loose-fitting garments
or allow long hair to hang loose in the vicinity of the
equipment.
Some jobs require special safety equipment to be
worn.
Eye protection
• Even the tiniest eye injury could result in the loss of
your sight. Injuries can be avoided by wearing safety
glasses when chiselling, grinding, polishing, welding,
painting, etc.
• Wear safety glasses of a type suitable for the work in
question.
Respiratory protection
• Fumes, dust and spray paint are unpleasant and injuri-
ous to health. You can protect yourself against them
by wearing respiratory protection.
This symbol together with the word CAU-
TION indicates a potentially dangerous situ-
ation that, unless avoided, may result in
MINOR OR MODERATE PERSONAL INJURY
OR DAMAGE to equipment.
