Operation Safety
1. Read and understand the Operator's Manual and all safety labels before operating the leveling
system.
2. Make sure that all controls are in the manual position before starting the combine.
3. Clear the area of all bystanders, especially children, before starting the leveling system and during
operation.
4. Make sure all safety shields are in place before operating the combine. Never operate the ma-
chine with the shields removed.
5. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
6. Stay seated in the cab during operation.
7. Operate controls only when sitting in the seat of the combine.
8. To avoid engine damage, do not run the machine for extended periods of time when it is in the lev-
eled over position.
9. Always travel at a safe speed. Use caution when making turns or traversing ditches.
10. The leveling system is equipped with a maximum level warning lamp. This lamp indicates when
the machine has reached its maximum leveling capability. There are restrictions as to tread width
and tire selection for combines used in harvesting slopes greater than the maximum leveling ca-
pability of the leveling system.
11. The use of after-market grain tank extensions is prohibited from use on combines equipped with
Hillco Leveling Systems.
12. Level Limit Stops should be used on combines that rely on the limit switches to stop the leveling
prematurely to prevent sheet metal damage.
Hydraulic Safety
1. Do not search for high-pressure hydraulic leaks without hand and
face protection. A tiny, almost invisible leak can penetrate skin, there-
by requiring immediate medical attention.
2. Use cardboard or wood to detect leaks – never your hands!
3. Before inspecting the hydraulic system of the leveling system, install
the safety stops.
4. Before operating the leveling system, ensure that there are no ob-
structions between the chassis and the carriage.
5. Maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels.
6. Ensure all fittings and hoses are in good repair.
7. Do not make any repairs to the leveling system hydraulic system
including: valves, hydraulic hoses, adapters, pumps, manifolds, or
reservoirs without first contacting your authorized Hillco dealer.
