Fire Prevention; Travel On Public Roads - MASSEY FERGUSON 9070 Workshop Service Manual

SAFETY

FIRE PREVENTION

FIG. 12: Because of the nature of the crops this machine
will operate in, the risk of fire is present. Regular
inspection of the machine can reduce the risk of fire.
Keep the machine free of crop debris to help prevent fires.
Check the machine daily for any noises that are not
normal. Such noises could indicate a failed bearing that
can cause heat buildup.
FIG. 13: Because of the flammable nature of many
crops, a fire extinguisher must be located within easy
reach of the operator. Check the fire extinguisher regularly
as instructed by the manufacturer.
Keep an emergency first aid kit handy for treatment of
minor burns, cuts, or scratches.

TRAVEL ON PUBLIC ROADS

FIG. 14: Use the lighting and marking system supplied
with the machine when roading. Make sure all the
flashers are operating prior to driving on the road. Make
sure the reflectors are installed, in good condition, and
wiped clean. Be sure the SMV emblem is clean, visible,
and correctly mounted on the rear of the machine.
Familiarize yourself with and obey all road regulations that
apply to your machine. Consult your local law
enforcement agency for local regulations regarding
movement of farm equipment on public roads.
Adjust travel speed to maintain control at all times. Limit
speeds to 32 km/h (20 mi/hr). Be aware of other traffic on
the road. Keep well over to your own side of the road and
pull over, when possible, to let faster traffic pass.
Be aware of the overall width and length of the machine.
Be careful when transporting the machine on narrow
roads and across narrow bridges.
Always travel with the header as low as possible. DO
NOT drive with header up and the lift cylinder stops in the
locked position. See Cylinder Stops in the Safety section
for more information.
