Harvesting Safety Tips

1. Always keep elevator swung to the rear of the harvester while waiting for the transport unit in the field. This eliminates field transports hitting the elevator.
2. Do not let engine idle for more than 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of idling, shut OFF engine and restart when ready.
3. Always use caution when harvesting near trees, utility lines, and utility poles. Verify that both topper and elevator are clear.
4. Always raise crop dividers when nearing the end of a row to avoid damaging harvester.
5. Use caution when cutting in unfamiliar fields.
6. Always harvest with engine at full throttle or with Automatic FieldCruise™ active.
7. Always check gauges periodically during the harvesting operation.
8. Always shut OFF engine, remove key, and turn OFF battery disconnect switch before cutting out vines and other chokes.

9. CAUTION: Do NOT manually remove chokes while engine is running.

   When clearing chokes from harvester, ALWAYS allow components to come to a complete stop before engaging harvesting functions in forward or reverse mode.
10. ALWAYS keep fire extinguisher filled and charged.
