Recommended Safety Procedures - MacDon D65 Operator's Manual

6.2 Recommended Safety Procedures

Follow these general safety procedures:
• Park on a level surface whenever possible. Block wheels
securely if combine is parked on an incline. Follow all
recommendations in your windrower operator's manual.
• Wear close-fitting clothing, and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.
• Wear protective shoes with slip-resistant soles, a hard
hat, protective glasses or goggles, and heavy gloves.
• If more than one person is servicing the machine at the
same time, be aware that rotating a driveline or other
mechanically driven component by hand (for example,
accessing a lube fitting) will cause drive components in
other areas (belts, pulleys, and knife) to move. Stay clear
of driven components at all times.
• Be prepared if an accident should occur. Know where the
first aid kit and fire extinguishers are located and how to
use them.
• Keep the service area clean and dry. Wet or oily floors
are slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working
with electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets
and tools are properly grounded.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
• Replace all shields removed or opened for service.
• Use only service and repair parts made or approved by
the equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design, or safety requirements.
• Keep the machine clean. Never use gasoline, naphtha,
or any volatile material for cleaning purposes. These
materials may be toxic and/or flammable.
