Driving the Combine
Operate machine only with all shields correctly installed.
Before starting the engine make sure no one is standing close to the Combine (pay special attention to children). Ensure there is adequate visibility. Sound the horn as a safety measure before starting the engine.
Drive at a speed appropriate to the conditions of the terrain. Avoid making sharp turns when driving up or down slopes or when driving across a slope. Take care when going along slopes with a full grain tank.
Fasten the cutting platform to the machine very carefully.
When making turns, always take into consideration the width of the Header and the fact that the rear end of the Combine swings out. The header and ground conditions affect the driving characteristics of the Combine.
Reduce speed when traveling over rough or uneven terrain or when making sharp turns.
Use reduced gear when driving downhill.
Drive cautiously when going past ditches or other obstacles, particularly on slopes, which could tip the Combine.
