General hazard pertaining to machine operation and servicing
DANGER
To prevent injury or death from improper or unsafe machine
operation:
• Follow all the safety instructions provided in the machine's
operator's manual. If you do not have a manual, obtain one
from your Dealer.
• Do NOT allow untrained persons to operate the machine.
• Review these safety instructions with all Operators
every year.
• Ensure that all safety signs are installed and are legible.
• Ensure that everyone is clear of the machine before starting
the engine and during its operation.
• Do not allow riders on the machine.
• Keep all shields in place. Stay clear of moving parts.
• Disengage the header drive, put the transmission in Neutral,
and wait for all movement to stop before you leave the
operator's seat.
• Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition
before you service, adjust, lubricate, clean, or unplug the
machine.
• Engage the safety locks to prevent the header or the reel
from falling before servicing the header when it is in the
raised position.
• Use a slow-moving vehicle emblem and activate the
machine's warning lights when operating on roadways,
unless these actions are prohibited by law.
Run-over hazard
DANGER
• The machine will move if the steering wheel is turned while
the engine is running.
• Steering response is the opposite of what is normally
expected when you are backing up the machine. Turn the
bottom of the steering wheel in the direction in which you
want to go.
• Always move the ground speed lever to the low end of the
range before you move the high-low speed control.
• Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition
before you service, adjust, lubricate, clean, or unplug the
machine, or before you perform maintenance or service on
the steering linkage or neutral interlock system.
• Refer to the windrower and header operator's manuals for
inspection and maintenance instructions.
