Section 2 – Corn Head Safety

Do Not Feed Material by Hand

To avoid entanglement, do not feed crop material into the corn head by hand, or attempt to manually unplug
the corn head while it is running. The stalk rollers can feed the crop material in faster than you can release
your grip on the material.

Avoid Hearing Loss

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or loss of hearing. Wear a suitable
protective hearing device such as earmuffs or earplugs to guard against objectionable or uncomfortable
loud noise.

Avoid Rotating Components

Pay attention to the corn head when in motion. Stalk rollers of the corn head, etc. cannot be completely
shielded due to their movement. Always stay clear of these moving parts during operation.

Remove paint before welding or heating to avoid toxic fumes and dust.

1) Disconnect all batteries prior to welding.
2) Work only in well-ventilated areas.
3) Remove paint to a minimum distance of 3” (76mm) away from the area to be effected by heating.
4) If you must sand or grind, avoid breathing the dust. Wear an approved respirator.
5) If using solvent or paint stripper, remove the stripper with soap and water before welding. Never
use chlorinated brake cleaner before welding.
6) Remove all aerosols, combustible fluids and any other flammable material from the work area. Allow
fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or heating.
7) Keep all hydraulic lines and oil reservoirs away from the work area while using heat. Failure to do so
can rupture lines causing pressurized fluids to ignite.
8) Dispose of paint and solvents safely.
