3.2. Warnings and Cautions
These warnings and cautions must be observed when operating the Straw Harrow.
Observing the warning signs and other notices will serve the operators safety.
Ensure total weight of tractor/harrow combination does not exceed permitted
limits and the weight of tractor is sufficient for safe field and road use.
Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and Harrow during
coupling/uncoupling procedures.
Ensure a safe distance from the machine is obeyed by spectators whilst the
machine is in work.
Pressurised hydraulic oil is dangerous therefore connecting and disconnecting
of the Harrow must only be undertaken with the tractors engine turned off
and the pressure in the hoses released.
Before operating the machine ensure no-one is standing within range of its
turning circle-including when the wings are unfolded.
BEWARE OF OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS when the machine is folded up in the
transport position.
Ensure all bolts are retightened after the first eight hours of use.
Prior to transport ensure the hydraulic tap is in the lock position (adjacent to
the hydraulic pipes) to prevent the wings unfolding.
Persons are forbidden to ride on the machine.
Do not work underneath suspended loads; ensure adequate props are
positioned before maintenance work is carried out, preventing machine
falling under its own weight.
Take care not to trap body parts within moving or pivot points.
