Do not operate the machine with the drive shaft
shields open or removed. Entanglement in drive
shafts that rotate can cause injury or death.
Stay clear of components that rotate.
Make sure that guards that rotate can rotate freely.
A loose yoke can come off a shaft and result in
injury to persons or damage to the machine.
When you install a quick disconnect yoke, the
spring activated locking pins must move freely and
be in the groove on the shaft. Pull on the driveline
to make sure that the quick disconnect yoke can
not be pulled off the shaft.

Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit available for use on small cuts
and scratches.
Keep one or more fire extinguishers of the correct
type. Examine fire extinguishers regularly as stated

extinguishers are charged and in operating
condition.
Crop material is flammable, there is a risk of fire.
Use a water type fire extinguisher or other water
source for a fire in crop.
For fires in material other than crop, such as oil or
electrical components, use a dry chemical fire
extinguisher with an ABC rating.
Keep fire extinguishers easy to access where fires
can occur.
Frequently remove crop material from the machine
and examine for components that are too hot. Do
checks on the machine each day for noises that
are not usual. Unusual noises can indicate a worn
out component that can cause too much heat.
If flame cutting, welding, arc welding, or grinding
is to be done on the machine or attachments, clear
