OPERATION
General Information
FIG. 5: When parking, park the machine on a solid level
surface and lower the header to the ground. Put all
controls in neutral, center and lock the steering wheel,
and apply the parking brake. Stop the tractor engine and
take the key with you.
mWARNING: Do not leave the machine
unattended with the header raised. Lower
the header fully before leaving the machine.
A sudden loss of hydraulic pressure can
cause the header to drop without warning.
Make sure the machine is in the proper operating
condition according to the Operator Manual.
Always operate the machine with the control console
turned on.
Do not dismount from moving machinery.
Stay off slopes too steep for operation.
Be aware of the size of the machine and have enough
space available to allow for operation.
FIG. 6: Stay off slopes too steep for operation. Keep the
header as low as possible while going down hills. Never
suddenly reverse the wheels to stop or back up.
Where possible avoid operating the machine near
ditches, embankments, and holes. Reduce ground speed
when operating on rough, slippery, or muddy surfaces
and when turning or crossing slopes.
FIG. 7: Avoid contact with electrical power lines. Contact
with electrical power lines can cause electrical shock,
resulting in very serious injury or death.

but is not limited to, equipment to protect eyes, lungs,
ears, head, hands and feet when operating, servicing or
repairing equipment.
Always keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry,
watches, or other items that could entangle in moving
parts. Tie up long hair that can also entangle in moving
parts.
Seat Instructions
FIG. 9: Securely fasten the seat belt before operating the
machine. Always remain seated and have the seat belt
fastened while operating the machine. Replace the seat
belts when they become worn or broken.
Never wear a seat belt loosely or with slack in the belt
system. Never wear the seat belt in a twisted condition or
pinched between the seat structural members.
When using the instructional seat, if equipped, securely
fasten the seat belt. The instructional seat is to be used
only to train new operators or diagnose a problem. The
instructional seat is only intended for short periods of use.
Extra riders, especially children, are not permitted on the
machine.
When the instructional seat is used the machine must be
driven at a slower speed and on level ground. Avoid quick
starts, stops, and sharp turns. Avoid driving on highways
or public roads.
Shield and Guards
FIG. 10: All shields and guards must be in the correct
operating position and in good condition.
Do not open, remove, or reach around shields while the
engine is operating. Entanglement in rotating belts and
components can cause serious injury or death. Stay clear
of rotating components.

possibly resulting in injury.
mWARNING: Be careful when operating
along the side of a road or building. Rocks
or other debris can be thrown from the
machine during operation possibly
resulting in injury.
Tilt the header back in fields where stones
and foreign objects are present. This will
raise the cutting knives and minimize
debris being thrown by the rotating knives.
