safety
warnings
-
The machine is equipped with all devices suited to ensure complete operator
protection; however, total safety does not go very well with the disparate
installation and utilisation needs, as well as with operational and work environment
needs.
-
It is therefore crucial that the Customer duly train the operators, highlighting, if
necessary by means of signs or other means, the areas or the operations art risk
(e.g., exposed augers, sharp blades, pipes under pressure, machine in movement,
etc.). These signs must be kept clean and fully legible; the same holds true for the
instrumentation, in particular the safety devices.
-
Fantini s.r.l. shall not be responsible for the disposal of products needed to use the
machine or to process the spent lubricant oil, rubber hoses, etc. Hence, the
Customer shall be required to arrange, in compliance with the regulations in force
in the country of installation, for the disposal of such substances potentially harmful
for the environment.
-
N.B. The same precautions must be adopted when dismantling the machine.
-
Fantini s.r.l. hereby declines any and all responsibility for damages of any type that
may result from inappropriate or reckless operations, carried out by unskilled
personnel or by skilled personnel who worked on the machine in a manner that did
not comply with the descriptions provided in this manual and in the enclosed
documents. The company shall also not be liable for damages caused to people or
property in case of incorrect machine installation.
-
The operator must not wear clothes with long sleeves, belts or straps and shall
always use or wear the personal protective equipment (gloves, helmet, etc.) made
available by the company.
-
The machine has sharp edges and pointed parts that cannot be eliminated; hence,
it is advisable to avoid losing your balance and to pay close attention to the
structures; the divider points are dangerous when exposed. DO NOT manoeuvre
them with people standing in the work area.
-
Avoid standing underneath suspended loads of the combine, also in proximity of
the side folding parts.
-
The machine can work outdoors or in case of adverse weather conditions, but it
cannot work if immersed in water.
-
The electrical system on board the machine (only for machines equipped with
electrical devices) complies with regulations in force and guarantees perfect
-
safety and efficiency of the machine; in any event, the operators must report any
malfunction or deterioration due to wear or ageing, so as to promptly restore
proper safety conditions.
