1. Safety
Do not operate the machine with the drive shaft
shields open or removed. Entanglement in rotating
drive shafts can cause serious injury or death.
Stay clear of rotating components.
Make sure rotating guards turn freely.
A loose yoke can slip off a shaft and result in injury
to persons or damage to the machine.
When installing a quick disconnect yoke, the
spring activated locking pins must slide freely and
be seated in the groove on the shaft. Pull on the
driveline to make sure the quick disconnect yoke
can not be pulled off the shaft.
Remove spilled oil, antifreeze or fuel immediately
from the steps, platform, and other access areas.
Keep all access areas clean and free of
obstructions.
1.4.2 Fire prevention and first aid
Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit handy for treatment of minor
cuts and scratches.
Always carry one or more fire extinguishers of the
correct type. Check fire extinguishers regularly as
instructed by the manufacturer. Make sure fire
extinguishers are properly charged and in
operating condition.
Due to the nature of the crops this machine will
operate in, the risk of fire is of concern. Use a
water type fire extinguisher or other water source
for a fire in crop.
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.
