handrails and always use the stairs or steps when
getting on or off the machine.
DO NOT use the control levers as a handrail and
never step on the pedal controls when getting on
or off the machine.
DO NOT try to get on or off when the machine is in
moviment. DO NOT jump off the harvester, unless
it is an emergency.
9.3 - Safe start
IMPORTANT:
Before starting the engine, make sure
there is enough ventilation. DO NOT
start the engine in closed environments.
The smoke from the engine may cause
suffocation.
Always start the engine from the operator seat with
all transmission levers in neutral and the PTO lever
in neutral.
Make sure all the brake pedals are always locked
by the union lock, except when in maneuvers in
the field which requires the independent use of
brakes. Make sure the brakes are properly
regulated, so that both brakes are engaged at the
same time.

8 - Harvester’s maintenance
• DO NOT make any repair or maintenance
service when the engine is running or still hot,
or with the harvester in operation (Fig. 10).
• Before making adjustments or repair the
electric system, disconnect the battery cables:
first, disconnect the negative (-) cable.
• To prevent fire or explosions, keep flames away
from the battery or from the cold start devices.
To prevent sparks, which can cause
explosions, use jumper cables according to
the instructions in this manual.
• When performing repairs or adjustments, it is
recommended to contact an AGCO Dealer so
the work can be performed by trained
personnel.
• The harvester and/or cutting platform must
be placed on wood blocks or or security
stands and NEVER on a hydraulic jack.
• Check all nuts and bolts for tightening
periodically, mainly the hub wheel nuts and
the wheel ring nuts. Fasten them according to
the specified torque.
9 - Start
9.1 - Alert before the start
Before starting the harvester, walk around it. Make
sure there is nobody under, on or near the machine.
Tell people near the harvester you will start it soon.
Do not star the equipment while there is people near
the cutting platforma or the harvester.
Make sure all pedestrians, mainly children, are at a
reasonable distance before starting the engine.
90.2 - How to get on and get off the machine
safely
Always adopt the “three-point contact” with the
machine and keep a frontside position when getting
on it. The three-point contact means both hands
and one foot or one hand and two feet in contact
with the machine, all the time, when getting on or
off it.
Clean your shoes and wash and dry your hands
before getting on the machine. Use the handrail.
