1 SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION
Please read and make sure that precautions described in this manual are fully understood. When servicing the machine,
always follow these precautions strictly.

2. SAFETY RULES

Only trained and authorized personnel are allowed to maintain the machine.

All safety rules, precautions and instructions are to be followed when performing maintenance on
the machine.

If you find any problems in the machine during operation or maintenance (noise, vibration, smell,
incorrect gauges, smoke, oil leakage, etc., or any abnormal display on the warning devices or the
HMI monitor), report to the person in charge and have the necessary action taken. Do not operate
the machine until the problem has been corrected.

Under no circumstances can maintenance personnel be under the influence of alcohol or

medication, such that their ability to repair the machine may be severely impaired endangering
themselves and everyone else on site.

Before rendering any maintenance, personnel must assess potential risk and hazards. They must
refer to the maintenance manual on how to prevent these.

The following persons should not be permitted to operate the machine:

 Who cannot speak the appropriate language or read and understand the printed instructions.
 Who is not of legal age to operate this type of equipment.
 Whose hearing or eyesight is impaired (unless suitably corrected with good depth
perception).
 Who may be suffering from heart or other ailments which might interfere with the operator's
safe performance.
 Unless the operator has carefully read and studied the operation manual supplied by the
Harvester Manufacturer.
 Unless the operator has been properly instructed.
 Unless the operator has demonstrated his instructions through practical operation.

 3. REQUIRED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Before rendering any form of maintenance on

the machine, maintenance personnel must be in
possession of personal protective equipment
depicted on figure 1-1 on the right.

The following rules must be adhered to:

Do not wear loose clothing and accessories.

There is a hazard that they may catch on
control levers or other protruding parts.

Always wear a hard hat and safety shoes. If

the nature of the work requires it, wear
safety glasses, mask, gloves, ear plugs, and
safety belt when operating or maintaining
the machine.

Check that all protective equipment

functions properly before using it. Fig. 1. Symbols for required PPE

 5. FIRE PREVENTION MEASURES

Fire caused by fuel or oil

CAUTION
Fuel, oil, antifreeze, and window washer liquid are particularly flammable
and can be hazardous.

To prevent fire, always observe the following:

Do not smoke or use any flame near fuel or oil.
Turn off the engine before refuelling.
Do not leave the machine while adding fuel or oil.
Tighten all fuel and oil caps. Fig. 13. Fire Hazard Warning Symbols
Do not spill fuel on overheated surfaces or on parts of the electrical system.
Use well-ventilated areas for adding fuel and oil.
After adding fuel or oil, wipe up any spillage.
When carrying out grinding or welding work on the chassis, move any flammable materials to a
safe place before starting the engine.
When washing parts with oil, use a degreaser. Diesel oil and gasoline may catch fire, so do not
use them.
Put greasy rags and other flammable materials into a safe container to maintain safety when
performing maintenance.
Do not weld or use a cutting torch to cut any pipes or tubes that contain flammable liquids before
draining the system.

Fire caused by accumulation of flammable material.

Remove any dry leaves, chips, pieces of paper, dust, or any other flammable materials
accumulated or affixed around the engine, exhaust manifold, muffler, or battery, or inside the
undercovers.

Fire coming from electric wiring

Short circuits in the electrical system can cause fire.
Always keep electric wiring connections clean and securely tightened.
Check the wiring every day for looseness or damage. Tighten any loose connectors or wiring
clamps. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.

Fire coming from hydraulic line

Check that all the hose and tube clamps, guards, and cushions are securely fixed in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during operation and rub against other parts. This may lead to
damage to the hoses, and cause high-pressure oil to spurt out, leading to fire damage or serious
injury.

Explosion caused by lighting equipment

When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, window washer fluid, or coolant, always use lighting
with anti-explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of
explosion that may cause serious injury.

 1.6 HANDRAILS AND STEPS

Fig.15. Handrailing on the harvester and visual image of three-point contact system

Use the handrails and steps marked in red on the diagram on above, when getting on or off the
machine.
To ensure safety, always face the machine and maintain three-point contact (both feet and one
hand, or both hands and one foot) with the handrails and steps (including the track shoe) to
ensure that you support yourself.
Do not grip the control levers or lock lever when getting on or off the machine.
Never climb on the engine hood or covers where there are no non-slip pads.
Before getting on or off the machine, check the handrails and steps. If there is any oil, grease, or
mud on the handrails or steps, wipe it off immediately. Always keep these parts clean. Repair any
damage and tighten any loose bolts.
Do not get on or off the machine while holding tools in your hand.

 1.7 BURN PREVENTION

Guidelines for hot coolant and hot oil

To prevent burns from hot coolant or steam
spurting out when checking or draining the
coolant, wait for the coolant to cool down to
a ambient temperature, where it is possible
to touch the radiator cap by hand before
starting the operation. Even when the
coolant has cooled down, loosen the cap
slowly to relieve the pressure inside the radiatorFig.

showing potentially hot surfaces
of the machine.
To prevent burns from hot oil
spurting out when checking or
draining the oil, wait for the oil
to cool to ambient temperature
where it is possible to touch
the cap or plug by hand before
starting the operation. Even
when the oil has cooled down,
loosen the cap or plug slowly
to relieve the internal pressure
before removing the cap or
plug.

Do not be in contact with hot

surfaces immediately after 1
turning off the engine. Allow for
2
the engine to cool down to 3
ambient temperature before
working on it. Maintenance 4
personnel should be aware of
the marked parts in figure 1-6
on the right, as they can cause

Reducing the temperature: Press key (6).
Increasing the temperature: Press key (7).

Each press corresponds to 1 °C or 1 °F. The A/C

MATIC automatic control regulates the cab
temperature to the set value. The fan speed is
slowly increased so that the cab temperature
reaches the set value faster. When the cab
temperature is approaching the set value, the fan speed is reduced again. In ECON mode, the
temperature cannot be lowered, but only increased. The fan speed can be changed manually.
