2.3 Safety rules during use
Always check the machine carefully before starting up, and particularly, verify the good
working order of accident prevention equipment.
WARNING
Many objects such as cables, ropes, wires, stones, chains or debris may be expelled
outside the machine at high speed following an impact with the flails.
Inspect the cutting area and remove any potentially dangerous objects from the site.
WARNING
► When working with the machine take care to avoid contact with fixed objects such as: road drain wells, shafts,
stones, guard rails, rail tracks. Such contact could cause the flails to break throwing them into the air at very
high speed.
► If metal wires, ropes, chains or similar, get tangled around the rotor, disengage the rotor control and the other
controls. Switch off the engine of the tractor (or self-propelled machine). Apply the parking brake. Remove the
ignition key from the control panel of the tractor (or self-propelled machine). Wait for all the moving parts to stop
moving in order to avoid damage or dangerous situations. Put working gloves on, clear the rotor with the
aid of pliers or shears. Do not attempt to disentangle it by reversing the rotor movement.
► Do not use the machine when there are anomalous or excessive vibrations, as this would cause breakages
and/or serious damage. Inspect the machine to find the cause of the vibration and solve the problem.
If the problem persists, contact an authorised workshop immediately.
► Do not let the flail holder rotor spin when the machine is raised from the ground.
► Do not operate with the boom extended when working on sloping ground. On each occasion check the stability
of the tractor (or self-propelled machine). Check stability from a safe position, keeping the flail head horizontal
and as close as possible to the ground. Then extend the boom slowly.
► Before using the hydraulic controls for the movements of the machine, make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects within the working range of the machine.
► It is absolutely forbidden to keep the rotor running during the lifting or lowering of the shredding flail head.
► Read and carefully follow the Operator’s Manual and all safety decals before operating, servicing, repairing
and/or replacing parts of the machine.
► Do not allow anyone to get on the tractor (or self-propelled machine) and/or on the equipment.
► Check all guards and protective barriers. If they are damaged, repair and/or replace them before starting up
the equipment.
► Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all moving parts.
► Disengage all controls and stop the engine. Apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key from the
control panel of the tractor (or self-propelled machine). Wait for all the moving parts to stop before performing
any operation for maintenance, repair or replacement of machine parts.
► Before operating, always check to make sure that there are no children or persons inside the machine danger
zone. If necessary, stop all moving parts of the machine.
► Keep all hydraulic fittings, couplers and hoses tightened. Make sure that there are no oil seepages.
► Keep all the lights, reflectors, and rear-view mirrors of the tractor (or self-propelled machine) constantly clean
and in good working order.
► Use the rotating beacon on the tractor (or self-propelled machine) whenever the machine is running or during
transport.
► Do not put your hands or feet beneath the machine or near its working parts while the equipment is working or
the engine of the tractor (or self-propelled machine) is running.
► Objects can be thrown out with sufficient force to severely injure people within the working range of the machine
(at least 50 metres). Make sure that there are no persons near the machine when it is in motion.
► Inspect the area on which to work, and make sure that there are no hidden obstacles.
► Do not stop or start suddenly when going up or down a hill.
► Review all the instructions with all operators at least once a year.
► Never leave the driving seat of the tractor (or self-propelled machine) while the machine is in the raised position.
Lower the machine to the ground, disengage the PTO and switch off the engine of the tractor (or self-propelled
machine) before leaving the driving seat.
► Never leave the machine unsupervised with the tractor (or self-propelled machine) running.
