2.4 GENERAL SAFETY

CAUTION

• The following are general farm safety

precautions that should be part of your

operating procedure for all types of

machinery.

• Protect yourself.

• When assembling, operating and

servicing machinery, wear all the

protective clothing and personal safety

devices that COULD be necessary for the

job at hand. Don't take chances.

• You may need:

• a hard hat.

• protective shoes with slip resistant

soles.

• protective glasses or goggles.

• heavy gloves.

• wet weather gear.

• respirator or filter mask.

• hearing protection. Be aware that

prolonged exposure to loud noise

can cause impairment or loss of

hearing. Wearing a suitable hearing

protective device such as ear muffs

(A) or ear plugs (B) protects against

objectionable or loud noises.

• Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of

emergencies.

• Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine.

Be sure the extinguisher is properly

maintained and be familiar with its proper

use.

• Keep young children away from

machinery at all times.

• Be aware that accidents often happen

when the operator is tired or in a hurry to

get finished. Take the

time to consider the

safest way. Never ignore

warning signs of fatigue.

• Wear close-fitting

clothing and cover long

hair. Never wear

dangling items such as

scarves or bracelets.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away

from moving parts. Never attempt to

clear obstructions or objects from a

machine while the engine is running.

• Keep all shields in place. Never alter or

remove safety equipment. Make sure

driveline guards can rotate

independently of the shaft and can

telescope freely.

• Use only service and repair parts made

or approved by the equipment

manufacturer. Substituted parts may not

meet strength, design, or safety

requirements.

• Do not modify the machine. Unauthorized

modifications may impair the function

and/or safety and affect machine life.

• Stop engine and remove key from

ignition before leaving operator's seat for

any reason. A child or even a pet could

engage an idling machine.

SAFETY

Form # 169089 8 Model Year - 2009

• Keep the area used for servicing

machinery

clean and dry.

Wet or oily

floors are

slippery. Wet

spots can be

dangerous

when working

with electrical

equipment. Be

sure all

electrical

outlets and tools are properly grounded.

• Use adequate light for the job at hand.

• Keep machinery clean. Do not allow oil or

grease to accumulate on service

platforms, ladders or controls. Clean

machines before storage.

• Never use gasoline, naphtha or any

volatile material for cleaning purposes.

These materials may be toxic and/or

flammable.

• When storing machinery, cover sharp or

extending components to prevent injury

from accidental contact.

6 OPERATION

6.1 OWNER/OPERATOR

RESPONSIBILITIES

CAUTION

• It is your responsibility to read and

understand this manual completely

before operating the windrower. Contact

your dealer if an instruction is not clear

to you.

• Follow all safety messages in the

manual and on safety signs on the

machine.

• Remember that YOU are the key to

safety. Good safety practices protect

you and the people around you.

• Before allowing anyone to operate the

windrower, for however short a time or

distance, make sure they have been

instructed in its safe and proper use.

• Review the manual and all safety related

items with all operators annually.

• Be alert for other operators not using

recommended procedures or not

following safety precautions. Correct

these mistakes immediately, before an

accident occurs.

• Do not modify the machine.

Unauthorized modifications may impair

the function and/or safety and affect

machine life.

• The safety information given in this

manual does not replace safety codes,

insurance needs, or laws governing

your area. Be sure your machine meets

the standards set by these regulations.

• Ensure that the tractor is properly

equipped to safely operate the header.

This may include adding ballast

according to Tractor Operator’s Manual

requirements for attachments of this

size and mass.

6.2 OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Follow these safety precautions:

CAUTION

• Follow all safety and operational

instructions given in your tractor

Operator's Manual. If you do not have a

tractor manual, get one from your dealer

and read it thoroughly.

• Never attempt to start the tractor engine

or operate the windrower except from

the operator’s seat.

• Check the operation of all controls in a

safe clear area before starting work.

• Do not allow riders on windrower.

• Never start or move the machine until

you are sure all bystanders have cleared

the area.

• Avoid travelling over loose fill, rocks,

ditches or holes.

• Drive slowly through gates and

doorways.

• If cutting ditch banks, use extreme

caution. If the header hits an

obstruction, the front of the tractor will

usually swerve towards the ditch.

• When working on inclines, travel uphill

or downhill when possible.

• Never attempt to get on or off a moving

tractor.

• Do not get off the tractor while the

header is in operation.

• Stop tractor engine and remove key

before adjusting or removing plugged

material from the machine. A child or

even a pet could engage the drive.

• Check for excessive vibration and

unusual noises. If there is any indication

of trouble, shut down and inspect the

machine. Follow proper shutdown

procedure:

- engage tractor brake

- turn off engine and remove key

- wait for all movement to stop

- dismount and engage lift cylinder stops

before inspecting raised machine.

• Operate only in daylight or good

artificial light.

(continued next page)

OPERATION

Form # 169089 13 Model Year - 2009

• Keep everyone several hundred feet

away from your operation. Ensure

bystanders are never in line with the

front or rear of the machine. Stones or

other foreign objects can be ejected

from either end with force.

• Extreme care must be exercised to

avoid injury from thrown objects. Do

not, under any circumstances, operate

the mower-conditioner when other

people are in the vicinity. Stones and

other objects can be thrown great

distances by the rotating cutting blades.

• The cutterbar curtains are very

important to reduce the potential for

thrown objects. Always keep these

curtains down when operating the

mower-conditioner. Replace the

curtains if they should become worn or

damaged.
