Pointers For Harvest Safety And Equipment Care
The notes advise high yield comes from good weather and careful prep. Check and repair the picker before harvest, ensure shields are in place, and do not rush work as speed harms efficiency and causes clogging. Keep shucks from the exhaust, carry a fire extinguisher, and change operators to reduce risk. Wear snug clothing to avoid entanglement.
