P/N: 95110
7.7 - Store the Header Safely
Ensure your header and all attachments are
secured when not in use. Keep bystanders away
from equipment and storage area. Failure to
comply can result in injury or death.
7.8 - Safety Around Moving Parts
Never attempt to service your equipment while in
operation. Always shut off the combine and wait for
all moving parts to come to a complete stop before
approaching the header.
Keep guards and shields in place at all times.
Ensure that they are serviceable and installed
correctly.
Cutterbar, auger, reel, drive shafts, and drapers
cannot be completely shielded due to their function.
Stay clear of these moving elements during
operation.
7.9 - High-Pressure Hydraulics
High pressure hydraulic leaks can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Always relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines and
tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Hydraulic leaks can be extremely small and difcult
to see. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
Protect hands and body from high-pressure uids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.
Any uid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may
result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
should reference a knowledgeable medical source.
7.10 - Transporting the Header
When transporting the header, frequently check for
trafc from the rear, especially in turns. Always use
headlights, ashing warning lights, and turn signals
(when turning) day and night. Follow local
regulations for equipment lighting and marking.
Keep lighting and marking visible, clean, and in
good working order, replace if necessary.
Whenever possible avoid transporting the header
on public roadways with header attached to the
combine.
If combine must be transported with header
attached, ensure all warning lights are operating,
and reective material is clean and visible.
Completely retract and lower the reel before
transporting.
Use of a spotter or pilot vehicle is recommended
on busy, narrow or hilly roads and when crossing
bridges.
Drive at a speed safe for conditions.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h) when transporting
the header on the optional transport package.
7.11 - Parking the header
When parking the header, ensure it is parked on
rm level ground (0% grade). Parking on a slope
can result in the header rolling away causing
equipment damage or injury/death.
7.12 - Using Correct Torque Values
It is extremely important that you use the correct
torque values when servicing your AirFLEX header.
Failure to follow the torque recommendations on
page 149 can result in equipment damage.
