information on the header lift cylinder stop. Refer
to the header Operator Manual for more
information about the reel lift stops.
WARNING:
A sudden loss of hydraulic pressure
could cause the header to lower
unexpectedly. Do not rely on the
hydraulic system to keep the header
raised. Always install the header lift
cylinder stop when working near the
header.

1.3.2 Fire Prevention and First Aid
Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit handy for treatment of minor
cuts and scratches.
Due to the nature of the crops this machine will
operate in, the risk of fire is of concern.
Always carry one or more fire extinguishers of the
correct type. Check fire extinguishers regularly as
instructed by the manufacturer. Make sure fire
extinguishers are properly charged and in
operating condition.
Use a water type fire extinguisher or other water
source for a fire in crop. GUID-423D4C47-E2CF-487A-BAAF-73E8EB3D4516-high.jpg [High]
Fig. 25
Know how to operate the fire extinguisher before operating the machine.
For fires involving anything other than crop, such as oil or electrical components, use a dry chemical fire
extinguisher with an ABC rating.
Mount fire extinguishers within easy reach of where fires can occur.
Frequently remove accumulated crop material from the machine and check for overheated components.
Check the machine daily for any noises that are not normal. Such noises could indicate a failed component
that can cause excess heat.
If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to be done on the machine or attachments, make sure to
clear any crop material or debris from around the area. Make sure the area below the work area is clear of
any flammable material as falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the material.
If fire occurs stand upwind and away from smoke
from the fire.

1.3.3 Checking for High Pressure Leaks
Fluid leaking from the hydraulic system or the fuel
injection system under high pressure can be very
hard to see. The fluid can go into the skin causing
serious injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours. If not removed
immediately, serious infection or reaction can
develop. Go immediately to a doctor who knows
about this type of injury.

Fig. 27
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks. Do not use your bare hand. Wear
leather gloves for hand protection and safety
goggles for eye protection.
Relieve all pressure before loosening any hydraulic
lines. Relieve the pressure by lowering raised
equipment, shutting off accumulator valve, if
equipped, and shutting off the engine. Tighten all
connections securely before applying pressure.

1.3.4 Engine Safety
CAUTION:
Engine safety See the engine instruction manual for other important information
regarding the safety of the engine.
Make sure all guards, shields and access doors are
in place and correctly closed before starting the
engine.
Start the engine from the operator's seat only.
Make sure that all controls are in neutral and that
the transmissions are disengaged.
Verify that all personnel are clear of the machine
before starting the engine.
Do not skip the neutral-start system. The neutral-
start system has been designed to prevent the
machine from starting with the gear engaged. Any
manual override of this system may cause death
or serious injury.
Never connect jumper cables across the starter
motor terminals because this can cause a short
circuit across the starter motor terminals.
