SECTION 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 5. Raise and lock the ladders when travelling on public roads. No-one should be standing on the ladders when the machine is moving. Most farm machinery accidents can be avoided by the observance of a few simple safety precautions. 6.
Page 19
INTRODUCTION 11. Keep children away from and off the combine at all times. 12. Check the wheel nuts torque as described in Section ADJUSTMENTS MAINTENANCE. 13. Do not enter the grain tank while the combine engine is running. Use a wooden clearing club 52034 should the grain tank unloading auger become clogged.
Page 20
SECTION 1 21. When driving on public roads, either with the Engine grain header loaded on a trailer and attached to 1. Keep the engine area clean of dust, chaff and the rear of the combine, or with the grain header straw to prevent the possibility of fires.

OPERATION DRIVING THE COMBINE CAUTION: The combine rear end swings out when changing direction. Take care when tak- ing turns. 1. Ensure that the ground speed control lever is in the neutral position. 2. Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear. S For field operation, use first, second or third gear, depending upon the circumstances.
Page 68
SECTION 2 WARNING: To prevent runaway of the combine (i.e. when the ground speed increases during downhill driving and it is impossible to reduce speed with the ground speed con- trol lever), it is necessary to shift into a lower gear appropriate to the steepness of the hill.
Page 69
OPERATION WARNING: Pressing the ‘‘P’’ button while driving the combine will cause the combine to stop abruptly (emergency stop). CAUTION: Do not press button P to actuate the handbrake during road transport unless it is required as an emergency stop! After an emergency stop, bring the ground speed control lever to neutral and release the brake by push- ing button P to reset the system.
