•
Always use the correct mounting bracket and ensure
that it is fitted by a trained and competent operator who
has been approved by your Fleming dealer.
•
NEVER
attach to a tractor which would be rendered
unstable when the Muck Fork is operated at its full
capacity. Take note of the maximum load permissible on
loader or linkage arms.
•
Take extra care when operating machinery on sloping
ground.
NEVER
operate on ground where there is a risk
of the tractor becoming unstable.
•
When the unit is stationary always ensure it is lowered
to the ground.
•
When detaching the Muck Fork from the tractor always
ensure that it is stable and safely positioned on a level
surface.
•
The attaching and detaching of the Muck Fork to a
tractor must be carried out by only one operator. There
should not be any other persons in the vicinity of the
implement or in the tractor.
•
Before operation make yourself familiar with all elements
and controls of the machine as well as their functions.
•
Before operation inspect the area around you. Keep
children away. All visitors and unauthorised persons
should be kept well away from work area.
•
Under
NO
circumstances
should
anyone,
authorised or otherwise attempt to use the Muck
Fork as a means of personal transport. It is designed
as a specialist purpose farm implement and is
unsuitable for the safe transportation of passengers.
NEVER
allow anyone especially children to travel
anywhere between the tractor and an implement.
•
ENSURE
that the operator is aware of the large
overhang when the Muck Fork is mounted on the
front of the tractor.
EXTREME CAUTION
must be
taken when emerging onto public roads.
•
Never unload on sloping ground or anywhere that
could cause instability.
•
Always ensure that the ground is level and stable.
•
NEVER
attempt to move the Muck Fork manually.
•
EXTREME CAUTION
must be taken if operating the
Muck Fork near overhead power lines. All loading
and unloading areas should be well away from
overhead power lines. If a Muck Fork does come into
contact with a power cable and it is necessary to
leave the tractor, leave the vehicle by jumping well
clear. Do not make contact with the ground and the
vehicle at the same time, as this will complete the
electrical circuit. Prevent anyone else from coming
into contact with the vehicle while it is touching any
power cable and contact the electrical supply
company immediately.
