2. General Information - 00
• Brakes are ineffective when manually released for service interventions: in these cases, make sure you
keep the machine under control using suitable chocks or similar blocking devices.
• The fuel supply gun must always stay in contact with the filler neck: Maintain this contact until the fuel
supply stops to prevent sparks due to static electricity build-up.
• Use only the prescribed points for towing the machine. Make the connections with the utmost care:
make sure that the relevant pins and/or catches are securely tightened before towing. Never remain
near to towing bars, cables or chains that are operating under load.
• To transfer a machine that has broken down, use a trailer or a low loading platform trailer, when
available.
• To load and unload the machine from the recovery vehicle, select a flat area providing firm support for
the wheels of the trailer or truck. Securely fasten the machine to the platform of the truck or the trailer
and lock the wheels as required by the shipping agent.
• For electrical heaters, battery-chargers and similar equipment, only use auxiliary power supplies
providing an efficient ground to avoid electric shock hazards.
• While lifting or carrying heavy parts, use hoists and similar equipment with sufficient capacity.
• Pay special attention to anyone who is nearby.
• Never pour gasoline or diesel oil in open, wide and low containers.
• Never use gasoline, diesel oil or other flammable liquids as cleaning agents: use non-flammable and
non-toxic commercial solvents.
• Wear goggles with side guards while cleaning parts with compressed air.
• Reduce air pressure according to the local or national regulations in force.
• Never operate the machine in closed areas without proper ventilation.
• Do not smoke, use naked flames or cause sparks when filling or handling highly flammable materials.
• Do not use flames as light sources when servicing the machine or checking for possible "leaks" .
• Move with caution when working under the machine, on the machine or near the machine. Wear the
prescribed safety equipment: helmets, special goggles and shoes.
• During checks that are carried out with the engine running, ask an operator to sit in the driver's seat and
keep the service technician under constant visual control at any time.
• In the event of service operations that need to be carried out outside the workshop, drive the combine
to a flat area and secure it. If work on hillsides cannot be avoided, first secure the machine and move it
to level ground, as soon as you can do it within a given safety margin.
• Dented and bent chains or ropes are not reliable: do not use them for lifting or towing. Always use
suitable protective gloves when handling chains or cables.
• Chains must be tightly fastened: make sure the fastening device is strong enough to hold the load. No
people should stand next to the towing connection, chains or ropes.
• The area for service operations should always be kept CLEAN and DRY. Immediately remove any water
deposits or oil stains.
• Do not pile up oil- or grease-soaked rags: they are a major fire hazard. Always place them in a closed
metal container. Before starting the machine or an equipment check, adjust and lock the operator's
seat. Make sure nobody is standing within the machine or equipment operating range.
• Do not carry any object in your pockets that could accidentally fall into the machine's inner
compartments.
• Whenever there is a risk that you might be hit by projecting metal parts and similar objects, wear an eye
mask or goggles with side shields, helmets, special footwear and heavy gloves.
• During welding operations, use protective equipment: dark goggles, helmets, special overalls and
gloves, and footwear. Dark goggles must also be worn by anyone who is not carrying out the work but
is standing near the operator carrying out the welding operations. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE
WELDING ARC WITHOUT SUITABLE EYE PROTECTION.
• Metal cables, when used, get frayed: always wear suitable protection while handling them (heavy
gloves, goggles etc.).
• Handle all parts with the utmost care. Keep your hands and fingers away from gaps, gears and similar
dangers. Always wear the approved protection devices, such as safety goggles, safety gloves and
shoes.
