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: ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT!
Page 12: Signal Words
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.
Page 13: General Safety
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 14 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.
Page 15: Hydraulic Safety
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.
Page 16: Welding Precaution
SAFETY 1.5 Welding Precaution To prevent damage to sensitive electronics, NEVER attempt welding on the header while it is connected to a windrower. WARNING NEVER attempt welding on the header while it is connected to the windrower. Severe damage to sensitive, expensive electronics can result from welding on the header while it is connected to the windrower.
Page 17: Safety Signs
SAFETY 1.6 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. Replace safety signs that are missing or illegible.
Page 19: Chapter 2: Unloading Header From Trailer - North America
Chapter 2: Unloading Header from Trailer – North America The rotary disc header, when shipped anywhere in North America, is secured on a shipping stand. The header and the stand are unloaded from the transport vehicle using a forklift. DANGER Do NOT allow people to stand in the unloading area.
