1.1.5.12 Start the engine
Move all hydraulic controls to the hold position before you start the engine.
Make sure the machine is in park.
Press the clutch pedal before you turn the ignition key. The starter will not operate until the clutch has been
pressed. To stop the starter, turn the key to o or release the clutch pedal.
Diesel engine exhaust contains material of combustion which can be dangerous. Always operate the
engine in an open area. If in a closed in area, send the exhaust out.

• Only use applicable containers to collect the fluids, for example engine oil.
• Clean all items that spill immediately and correctly discard the unwanted materials.
• Remove all unwanted material from the work area immediately.
1.1.6.3 How to prevent fires and fire equipment
• The crop material is flammable. Regularly
remove the unwanted crop material from the
machine to prevent a fire.
• Use a water type fire extinguisher, A class fire
extinguisher or other water source to
extinguish a crop fire.
• Examine the components to make sure that
they do not become too hot. Listen for noises
that are not usual during operation. Unusual
noises can show that a component has wear.
Worn components can become hot and start a
fire.
• Keep the fire extinguishers in a location that
you can access easily also near where the fires
can occur.
- Examine the fire extinguishers regularly,
refer to the manufacturer's equipment
manual.
- Make sure that the fire extinguisher is full
and in a condition that operates.
• For fires of material other than crop (for
example oil or electrical components), use a dry
chemical fire extinguisher of A, B or C class.
• Before you cut, weld, or grind on the machine,
remove flammable materials from the machine
and the work area.
• If a fire occurs, move out of the smoke and
away from the fire. Get aid from your local
emergency services.

1.1.6.4 High pressure leaks
• The fluid that leaks from the hydraulic system
or the fuel injection system is at a high
pressure and is not easy to see.
• If the fluid goes into the skin, you must get
medical aid immediately. If the fluid is not
removed immediately, injury or death can occur.
• Use the applicable procedures to find possible
leaks.
- Do not use your bare hand.
- Put on the correct personal protective
equipment before you look for leaks.
• Before you replace hydraulic lines:
- Remove all pressure from the system.
- Put all equipment in the maintenance
position and install the supports if it is
applicable.
- Close the applicable accumulator valves.
- Stop the engine.

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
Sparks can cause a fire more easily with Ultra-Low
Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) than with other diesel types.
Equipment (for example hoses) you can use to
decrease the static ignition risk decrease in eect
with time and other conditions.
Ground the machine and bond the fuel equipment
correctly to decrease the risk of static ignition and
a fire. See the equipment manuals for the fuel
equipment for more information.

• Stop the engine before you do the maintenance
or repair work.
• Before you do the maintenance or repair work
on the electrical system set the battery primary
switch to OFF.
• Surfaces and components near and on the
engine are hot when the engine has operated.
• Always let the components that contain hot
fluid or gas decrease in temperature before you
touch or open them.
• Before you do work on the cooling system,
make sure that you:
- Read the manual for the correct procedure.
- Let the radiator become cool.
- Gradually open the radiator cap to release
the pressure in the system.
• Fuel, lubricants or coolant can cause injury to
your skin. Put on your personal protective
equipment if it is necessary.
• Discard all unwanted materials correctly. Make
sure that you obey all local laws when you
recycle or discard these items.
• It is necessary to replace some components
after you remove them, for example an O-ring.
Make sure that you always replace these
components and do not install them again.
• Only use the components and fluids that have
AGCO approval.
• After you do the maintenance, examine the
work to make sure that it is correct. For
example, do an inspection for leaks.

1.1.6.7 Electrical safety
• Before you disconnect the battery, set the
ignition to OFF, wait 2 minutes then disconnect
the battery.
• Make sure that you put on the correct personal
protective equipment when you do work or
maintenance on batteries.
• Lead acid batteries release hydrogen fumes
when charging. The fumes from the batteries
are very flammable. Keep open flames and
electrical sparks away from the batteries.
Charge the batteries in an area with good
airflow.
• Metal tools or objects cause a short circuit the
battery if they touch the positive and negative
connections at the same time.
• If you connect booster cables or charging
equipment incorrectly, it causes damage to the
battery and electrical components. Always
connect the positive cable to the positive
battery connector, and the negative cable to the
negative battery connection.
• The battery contains lead and acid. Put on
personal protective clothing when you do work
on a battery.
• If battery fluid touches your skin, flush the area
immediately with large quantities of water.
• If battery fluid goes in your eyes, flush with
water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get
medical aid immediately.
• If you swallow battery fluid, drink large
quantities of water. Do not try to vomit. Get
medical aid immediately.
• Do not connect 24 V equipment to the
machine.
• If you tilt or turn a battery fluid spills. Keep the
battery with the connections up.
• Always connect the cable to the negative side
of the battery first.
• Always disconnect the cable from the negative
side of the battery first.
