Section 3 Risk operations
- Before starting the machine, always
make sure that other people stand
clear of the area around the rotor
(Fig. 2.4).
During the use of the mower,
make sure that other people keep
a distance of at least 10 m. When
working on a surface with stones
or other objects, try to remove as
many as possible before starting to
cut. Despite of the safety protection,
there still is the danger of stones
and other objects being projected
towards the operator or other people
nearby.
- During the stationary use of the flail
mower, always put the gear in neutral
and block the wheels of the walking
tractor with wooden wedges or blocks.
STOP :
Never attempt to undertake a
registration while the engine is going.
The registration of the machine,
even with the safety measures on
the machine, should always be done
with the engine switched off in order
to avoid potential accidents of even
serious nature.
WHEN ADJUSTING THE MACHINE,
DO NEVER TRY TO BLOK THE
CLUTCH LEVERS OF THE
VEHICLE AND THE MOVEMENT
OF THE BLADES WHILE THE
ENGINE IS GOING. THERE IS
THE DANGER OF SERIOUS
ACCIDENTS OR DEATH.
- The blade rotor clutch Lever has to
be operated with two hands. Undo
the safety lock of the blade rotor
clutch Lever as illustrated (Fig. 2.5).
- Do not work on a slope with a lateral
inclination of more than 15°.
- Reduce the speed when working
on an irregular terrain or on slippery
surfaces or when leaves and foliage
reduce visibility.

speed.
