NOT APPLYING the rules mentioned above may cause hazard for the operator of the machine and bystanders,
as well as it may cause damage to the machine. For the damages resulting from the failure to
comply with these rules, the responsibility will be on the side of the mower’s user.
PARTIAL RISKS
The manufacturer has made every effort to ensure that the design and the intended method of operating the mower
does not cause any danger to people and their environment.
Due to the nature of the mower and the lack of such opportunities to fully expose the cutter, certain elements of risk
can occur.
THE DANGER caused by the presence of the sharp edges of the cutting system and the
possibilities of any hard objects thrown out, e.g. stones, broken blades, etc. The danger zone
resulting from the possibility of throwing out hard objects is within 150 ft. perimeter from the
mower being operated.
DANGER
the working cylinders and the blades are still rotating for a certain amount of time even after the power
drive of the mower is turned off. Therefore, before proceeding with any work activities on the mower, it is crucial to
wait until the operating drums with the blades stop rotating.
DANGER changing the mower’s position from the transport position to the operating position and
backwards may be performed only on an even and flat surface after prior leveling of the machine.
Failure to comply with these conditions may cause the cutting system of the mower turn around on
its own on the suspension and hit or deform the operating elements of the tractor.
SAFETY SIGNS AND INSCRIPTIONS
There are warning labels placed on the mower with safety signs in the form of pictograms, which give clear
instructions and comments informing about what should be treated with special precaution in order for the operation
of the mower to be safe.
Carefully read every warning label and get familiarized with their meaning.
The warning labels should be kept clean and readable throughout the whole life of operating the mower. In case the
warning labels are not readable, the damaged labels should be replaced with new ones.
New systems and parts replaced during any repairs should have all required warning labels. The new labels may be
obtained from stores or from the manufacturer, as it is done with any other spare parts.
