Fire Prevention and First Aid
FIG. 22: Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit handy for treatment of minor cuts and
scratches.
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.
Due to the nature of the crops this machine will operate in,
the risk of fire is of concern. Use a water type fire
extinguisher or other water source for a fire in crop.
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.
FIG. 23: If fire occurs stand upwind and away from
smoke from the fire.

Safety
Checking for High Pressure Leaks
FIG. 24: 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. 25: 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.
Accumulator Safety
mDANGER: Charging or replacing the
accumulator must be performed by an
authorized dealer only.
FIG. 26: The accumulator (1) is charged with dry
nitrogen gas. Use only dry nitrogen when charging the
accumulator. Do not use air or oxygen or an explosion will
occur.
Nitrogen gas when released can cause localized freezing.
Always wear protective gloves and glasses when
handling nitrogen.
Do not drop the accumulator. A charged accumulator
contains nitrogen under pressure. If the shut off valve
breaks away from the accumulator, the escaping nitrogen
will propel the accumulator at a high rate of speed.
