SAFETY RULES
02-Manutenzione Norme di sicurezza
2.6.1 Maintenance: safety rules
► When the operator leaves the driving position of the tractor (or self-propelled machine) he/she must:
1) Lower the mower onto a horizontal surface. If there are supporting feet, position them and lower the machine
onto the ground using the lift of the tractor (or self-propelled machine);
2) Disconnect the mechanical, hydraulic and electric power of the machine;
3) Engage the parking brake of the tractor (or self-propelled machine);
4) Stop the engine of the tractor (or self-propelled machine) and remove the ignition key from the control panel.
Never work underneath the machine or under any parts of the machine that have been
raised but are not properly supported, in order to avoid sudden or accidental falling which
could cause serious injury or even the death of the operator.
DANGER
► Keep the working area clean and dry.
► Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
► Use auxiliary lighting during maintenance operations.
► Use only tools, jacks and lifts of sufficient capacity for the job.
► Never work on the frame, rotor or underneath the machine unless the tractor (or self-propelled machine) engine
is off and the PTO is disconnected.
► On completion of maintenance work, make sure that all guards are in place, properly secured and in good
condition.
► We advise the maintenance technician to refrain from wearing cumbersome clothing or accessories that could
get caught in the machine (sleeves without closed cuffs, belts, necklaces, bracelets, rings).
► Check the pressure of the hydraulic circuit before servicing the machine or disconnecting it from the tractor.
► Make sure that the end tool is correctly supported on the ground.
► Release any residual pressure remaining in the system.
► Disconnect all electric wires from the battery of the tractor (or self-propelled machine) when carrying out welding
operations. Disconnect the electrical system of the tractor (or self-propelled machine) if the welding operations
are performed with the machine mounted on the tractor itself.
► Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure all hydraulic lines, fittings and couplers are tight
and in good condition.
► Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear. If necessary, replace them with original spare parts.
► Never weld or attempt to repair or make weldings on parts subject to movement in order to avoid vibrations that
are harmful to the machine and its safety.
Use a ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached by the operator.
Slipping or falling can cause serious injury or death.
Do not lean the ladder against the machine.
