Chapter 1: Safety 1.1 Signal Words Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. Two signal words, IMPORTANT and NOTE, identify non-safety related information. Signal words are selected using the following guidelines: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY 1.2 General Safety CAUTION The following general farm safety precautions should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery. Protect yourself. • When assembling, operating, and servicing machinery, wear all protective clothing and personal safety devices that could be necessary for job at hand.
Page 29
SAFETY • Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. NEVER wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets. • Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety equipment. Make sure driveline guards can rotate independently of shaft and can telescope freely. •...
SAFETY 1.3 Tire Safety WARNING • Service tires safely. • A tire can explode during inflation which could cause serious injury or death. • Follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim. Failure to do so can produce an explosion that may result in serious injury or death.
SAFETY 1.4 Battery Safety WARNING • Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries; an explosive gas is given off by electrolyte. • Ventilate when charging in enclosed space. Figure 1.9: Safety around Batteries WARNING • Wear safety glasses when working near batteries. •...
SAFETY 1.5 Welding Precautions High currents and voltage spikes associated with welding can cause damage to electronic components. Before welding on any part of windrower or an attached header, disconnect all electronic module harness connections as well as battery cables. For instructions, refer to technical manual for proper procedures. 215015 Revision A...
SAFETY 1.6 Engine Safety WARNING Do NOT use aerosol starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in an explosion and personal injury. CAUTION • On initial start-up of a new, serviced, or repaired engine, always be ready to stop the engine to prevent an overspeed.
Page 34
SAFETY WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. The electronic unit injectors use DC voltage. The engine control module (ECM) sends this voltage to the electronic unit injectors. Do NOT come in contact with the harness connector for the electronic unit injectors while engine is operating. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death. This engine has a comprehensive, programmable engine monitoring system.
SAFETY 1.7 Safety Signs • Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times. • Replace safety signs that are missing or illegible. • If original part on which a safety sign was installed is replaced, be sure the repair part displays the current safety sign.
