OPERATION

General Information

FIG. 5: When parking, park the machine on a solid level
surface and lower the header to the ground. Put all
controls in neutral, center and lock the steering wheel,
and apply the parking brake. Stop the tractor engine and
take the key with you.
m
WARNING: Do not leave the machine
unattended with the header raised. Lower
the header fully before leaving the machine.
A sudden loss of hydraulic pressure can
cause the header to drop without warning.
Make sure the machine is in the proper operating
condition according to the Operator Manual.
Always operate the machine with the control console
turned on.
Do not dismount from moving machinery.
Stay off slopes too steep for operation.
Be aware of the size of the machine and have enough
space available to allow for operation.
FIG. 6: Stay off slopes too steep for operation. Keep the
header as low as possible while going down hills. Never
suddenly reverse the wheels to stop or back up.
Where possible avoid operating the machine near
ditches, embankments, and holes. Reduce ground speed
when operating on rough, slippery, or muddy surfaces
and when turning or crossing slopes.
FIG. 7: Avoid contact with electrical power lines. Contact
with electrical power lines can cause electrical shock,
resulting in very serious injury or death.
