Danger of death by electrocution!
Pay special attention to the overhead power lines. Make sure the machine has sufficient clearance to pass in all
directions (also with raised or opened machine components). Also think of the radio aerial(s) or any other factory-
fitted accessory or parts which may have been added afterwards.
Should a contact between the machine and an electric power line occur, then the following precautions must be taken:
Stop the machine movement immediately, stop the engine and apply the hand brake.
Check if you can safely leave the cab or your actual position without direct contact with electric wires. If not, stay
in your position and call for help. If you can leave your position without touching the lines, jump off the last step or
support position to ensure that there is no contact between any part of your body and the ground at any time. Do not
touch the machine afterwards until power to the lines has been shut off. When people approach the machine, warn
them not to touch the machine but to ask the electric power supply company to shut off the power to the lines.
Fire and explosion prevention
• Due to the flammable nature of the crop materials encountered, fire risks are high. This risk can be minimized by
frequent removal of accumulated crop material from the machine and checking for overheated machine compo-
nents. If oil leaks appear, re-torque bolts or replace gaskets as necessary.
• Remove all trash or debris from the machine each day. Especially check the engine area and exhaust system.
• Sparks or flame can cause the hydrogen gas in a battery to explode. To prevent an explosion do the following:
• Do not weld, grind or smoke near a battery.
• Sparks from the electrical system or engine exhaust can cause an explosion and fire. Before you operate this
machine in an area with flammable dust or vapors, use good ventilation to remove the flammable dust or vapors.
• Use nonflammable cleaning solvent to clean parts.
• A fire can cause death or injury. Always have fire extinguisher near or on the machine. Make sure the fire extin-
guishers are serviced according to the manufacturers instructions.
• If a fire extinguisher has been used, always recharge or replace the fire extinguisher before operating the machine.
• Make sure that you DO NOT store oily rags or other flammable materials on the machine.
• If the machine has an oil, fuel or hydraulic leak, always repair the leak and clean the area before operating.
• Check the electrical system for loose connections or frayed insulation. Repair or replace the loose or damaged
parts.
• Before welding or using a torch on the machine, clean the area to be repaired.
