1. Safety Guidelines
1
Never trust only on the hydraulic jack.
• Never start a flame using a cigarrette, torch or
welding, before making sure everything is clean
and there is no leakage. In any case, the fire
extinguisher must always be in perfect
operational conditions. Check the fire
extinguisher load periodically.
• All fluids must be handled and stored in an
appropriate form, and kept away from children.
In case of ingestion, drink a lot of water and
seek for medical assistance.
• When handling a wheel it tends to fall down,
do not try to hold it; instead, move away
immediately, thus preventing severe injuries
and excessive efforts.
7 - Preparing for a safety operation
7.1 - Know your equipment
Know all functions of all controls, gauges,
instruments and commands. Know the rated load
capacity, the speed range, the breaking capacity and
the steering characteristics of the machine, besides
the turning radius and operations clearances.
This Manual covers all generic safety practices for
harvesters. It must always be kept in the harvester.
If additional copies of this Manual are required,
contact your MF Dealer.
7.2 - Protect yourself
Use equipments and protective clothing appropriate
for your work (Pict. 6). Do not take risks.
You will need:
• A protective helmet.
• Protective goggles or masks.
• Ear protection.
• Respirator or filter mask.
• Special clothing for cold weather.
• Reflective clothing.
• Heavy gloves (neoprene for chemicals or
leather for heavy duty).
• Boots.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry, or any other
item that might
get caught in the controls or other parts in the
harvester. Also, tie your hair if it is long.
