Safety precautions
Farm accidents can be prevented with your help.
No accident prevention program can be successful without the wholehearted cooperation of the person who is directly
responsible for the operation of the equipment.
To read accident reports from all over the country is to be convinced that a large number of accidents can be prevented
only by the operator anticipating the result before the accident is caused and doing something about it.
It is said that "The best kind of safety device is a careful operator who with care and mature consideration can save
more lives and limbs than any accident prevention program which is not adhered to".
Further in this chapter you will find a list of the most important safety precautions.
Take time to read and follow the instructions and furthermore, be careful!
Some pictures in this manual may show the safety guarding open or removed to better illustrate a particular feature

Ensure to close or replace all guards before operating the machine.
General and operating safety
Most farm machinery accidents can be avoided by the observance of a few simple safety precautions.
• The machine must only be used by a skilled operator familiar with all the controls and harvesting techniques on
cultivated land with slopes up to maximum 26 % ( 15 °) uphill and downhill.
• Keep children away from and off the machine at all times.
• When driving on public roads, observe traffic regulations, adapt your speed to road and traffic conditions and ensure
that all lights and other safety mechanisms on the machine (if they are required) are fitted and work properly.
• Before operating the machine ensure that all safety guards are installed.
• Do not enter the grain tank while the machine engine is running. With engine stopped, use a wooden clearing club
should the grain tank unloading auger become bridged. Take utmost care not to be pulled into the grain tank in
case unbridging is required.
• Do not attempt to clean, lubricate or carry out any adjustments on the machine while it is in motion or while the
engine is running.
• Never leave the operator's platform without first disengaging the machine drive mechanism, lowering the header,
stopping the engine, applying the park brake and removing the ignition key.
• Do not work under the machine header unless it is securely blocked and/or the header safety latch is engaged.
• Do not work around the machine in loose clothing that might catch in any of the moving parts.
• Keep hands away from moving parts of the machine.
• Keep the fire extinguisher within easy reach of the operator. Ensure to replace it by a similar type of extinguisher
or have it checked or refilled after every usage and/or date of expiry.
