Chapter 1: Safety Understanding and consistently following these safety procedures will help to ensure the safety of those operating the machine and of bystanders. 1.1 Safety Alert Symbols The safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual and on safety signs on the machine. This symbol means: •...
SAFETY 1.2 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 it is not prevented, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if it is not prevented, could result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY 1.3 General Safety Operating, servicing, and assembling machinery presents several safety risks. These risks can be reduced or eliminated by following the relevant safety procedures and wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment. CAUTION The following general farm safety precautions should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery.
Page 20
SAFETY • Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. NEVER wear dangling items such as hoodies, scarves, or bracelets. • Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety equipment. Ensure that the driveline guards can rotate independently of their shaft, and that they can telescope freely.
SAFETY 1.4 Hydraulic Safety Because hydraulic fluid is under extreme pressure, hydraulic fluid leaks can be very dangerous. Follow the proper safety procedures when inspecting hydraulic fluid leaks and servicing hydraulic equipment. • Always place all hydraulic controls in NEUTRAL before leaving the operator’s seat.
SAFETY 1.5 Tire Safety Understand the risks of handling tires before performing maintenance tasks. WARNING • A tire can explode during inflation, causing serious injury or death. • Follow the proper procedures when mounting a tire. Failure to do so can produce an explosion, causing serious injury or death.
SAFETY 1.6 Battery Safety Working with lead-acid vehicle batteries presents several safety risks. WARNING • Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries. The electrolyte fluid in the battery cells emits an explosive gas which can build up over time. •...
SAFETY 1.7 Welding Precautions The high current and voltage spikes associated with welding can cause damage to the electronic components on the windrower. Before attempting to weld any part of the windrower or an attached header, disconnect all of the electronic module harness connections as well as the battery cables.
SAFETY 1.8 Engine Safety Operating, maintaining, and servicing an engine presents several safety risks. These risks can be reduced or eliminated by following the relevant safety recommendations. WARNING Do NOT use aerosol starting aids such as ether when attempting to start the engine. Use of these substances could result in an explosion.
SAFETY 1.8.2 Engine Electronics The engine control module (ECM) is a sensitive piece of equipment, which can be damaged if the proper safety procedures are not followed. The ECM also regulates various aspects of engine performance, which can affect the safe use of the machine.
SAFETY 1.9 Safety Signs Safety signs are decals placed on the machine where there is a risk of personal injury, or where the Operator should take extra precautions before operating the controls. They are usually yellow. • Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times. •...

PREDELIVERY CHECKS 4.2 Checking Tire Pressures and Adding Tire Ballast Checking the tire pressure and possibly adding tire ballast will help ensure the proper operation of the windrower. 4.2.1 Checking Tire Pressure The windrower’s drive and caster tires must be inflated to the proper pressure level. To inspect a tire’s air pressure level: 1.
Page 100
PREDELIVERY CHECKS Table 4.2 Recommended Ballast Weight (continued) 7.5 x 16 7.6 m (25 ft.) and smaller 10 x 16 16.5 x 16.1 9.1 m (30 ft.) single or double 7.5 x 16 reel without conditioner 38 (10) 91 (200) 10 x 16 10.7 m (35-ft.) single reel 16.5 x 16.1...
1. Ensure air cleaner cap is firmly attached and latches (A) and clamps (B) are secure. Figure 4.4: M155 Air Intake System 2.

PREDELIVERY CHECKS 4.8 Checking Engine Coolant Coolant is cycled through the engine to help reduce internal heat. The coolant must be at the appropriate level for the system to work correctly. 1. Visually inspect the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank (A).
PREDELIVERY CHECKS 4.9 Checking Air Conditioning Compressor Belt The windrower’s air conditioner compressor is belt-driven. The belt must be tensioned correctly for the air conditioning system to function properly. 1. Ensure that A/C compressor belt (A) is tensioned so that a force of 45 N (10 lbf) applied to the midspan of the belt deflects it by 5 mm (3/16 in.).
PREDELIVERY CHECKS 4.10 Starting Engine The procedure for starting the windrower’s engine varies depending on the ambient temperature. In cold weather, the engine must go through a warm-up cycle before the engine speed can be increased. CAUTION Park on a level surface with the ground speed lever (GSL) in the N-DETENT position and the steering wheel in the locked (centered) position.
Page 109
PREDELIVERY CHECKS Normal start: 6. Follow these steps when starting the engine when the ambient temperature is above 16°C (60°F): Move the throttle fully back to START position (A). b.
