Safety Practices
Observe the following safety practices
when operating or servicing your machine.
Operating the Combine
Make sure that everyone is clear of the
machine before starting the tractor or
operating the combine.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing
away from all moving parts.
Stay clear of the header pickup and
header auger at all times.
Be alert for overhead electrical lines
and other obstructions when you tow
the combine or dump the bin.
Do NOT make sharp turns on hillsides.
Never allow anyone to ride on the
machine.
Be sure that the combine is on solid,
level ground before you dump the bin.
Towing the Combine
The maximum towing speed is 10
MPH loaded and 20 MPH empty.
Do NOT tow the combine without
attaching safety chains from the towing
vehicle to the combine. These chains
should have a minimum combined
breaking strength of at least 40,000
pounds. If the combine were to
separate from the towing vehicle,
serious personal injury or death could
result.
Servicing the Combine
Install the safety strut before working
under the raised bin. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
Stop the tractor engine and disengage
the drive before adjusting, cleaning,
lubricating, or unclogging the machine.
DANGER!
The combine height with the bin lowered
ranges from 13’9” to 14’2”. With the bin
raised, the height ranges from 23’6” to
27’0”. Contact with an obstruction or
overhead electrical line could cause
electrocution, death, or serious personal
injury.

Overview
Before operating the machine for the first
time, go over the section titled “Pre-
Delivery Checks” with your dealer to verify
the combine is ready for operation. Every
combine is test run at the AMADAS plant,
but a thorough pre-delivery inspection is
important, as items may have loosened
during shipping.
Chapter 3, Operation, contains a “Daily
Checklist.” It is important that you perform
these checks each day you intend to use
your combine. These checks are intended
to help you detect problems early, reduce
downtime, and extend the life of your
combine.
Safety Strut
Read Chapter 1, Safety, before performing
any checks on your machine. In addition,
be aware of the safety strut that locks the
bin in the open position. Always use the
safety strut as intended before checking or
working around the open bin. The safety
decal located below the strut provides
instructions for using the strut.
