SELECTABLE MACHINE CONTROL ROTARY SWITCH Safety

WARNING

Maintain a safe operating distance between the machine and other personnel. Never operate the boom or attachment over the heads of bystanders. Never travel near co-workers or other pieces of equipment with attachment running. Do not allow people or other pieces of equipment near the harvesting operation.

Do not turn on attachment until machine is at the harvesting site. Use only prearranged and approved signalling practices. Do not open an escape hatch or the cab doors to increase ventilation when operating the machine.

Keep the cab doors closed when driving or steering the machine to prevent accidental entry of branches and debris into the cab. Keep the cab doors closed and use seat belt when driving or steering the machine to prevent being thrown from the operator's cab. Secure loose items in the cab. Prior to commencing work, check all equipment controls to ensure that the machine responds correctly. Make sure that all safety screens and guards including the skylight are installed and properly secured.

WARNING

If the machine is equipped with selectable machine control check the position of the rotary switch to verify control response. Before starting the engine, check to ensure that all doors, panels, and access covers are installed properly and secured. Make sure that all of the controls are positioned as specified in the starting instructions in the operator's manual. Sound the machine horn before starting the machine.

Never use a liquid starting aid to start an engine with a pre-heat device.

When the engine is running, DO NOT allow anyone in areas of the machine where they may be crushed by moving components.

CAUTION

Do not open cab doors or window screens when cab is on a slope. The doors and screens are heavy and could swing out with considerable force. Anyone in the path of swing could be injured. Anyone opening the door or screen and holding on to it could be pulled out of the cab and injured.
