Safety Recommendations 
 

Beware of the following Potential Dangers associated with the use of this machine: 

 

  Becoming trapped when hitching or unhitching 

  Tractor overbalancing when arm is extended 

  Electrocution due to hitting overhead power lines 

  Getting caught on rotating power take off (PTO) 

  Being hit or caught by any moving part, e.g. belts, pulleys, arms, cutting head 

  Being hit by flying debris or machine parts due to machine damage 

  Machine overbalancing when not in use 

  Injection of high pressure oil from damaged couplings or hydraulic hoses 

 

Accidents due to collision with other machines, or debris left on road

 

 

 

 

Always 

  Ensure the operator has read this handbook and has been trained to use the machine. 

  Ensure all cab safety guards are in place and all tractor windows closed. 

  Before leaving the tractor cab always ensure that the flail head is firmly on the ground, no 

weight is on the machine’s hydraulics and the rotor has stopped spinning. 

  Check that all guards are properly fitted and there are no damaged or loose parts. Particular 

attention should be given to the flails to ensure they are not damaged, cracked or missing. 

  Inspect work area for wire, steel posts, large stones and other dangerous materials and 

remove before starting work. 

  Beware of the danger of overhead power cables.  The operator must be aware of the 

maximum height and reach of the machine when working under power cables. The minimum 
legal height for 11,000 and 22,000-volt cables is 5.2 meters  from the ground.  When fully 
extended, the machine may well exceed this height so extreme caution should be practiced. 
For more information contact the Health and Safety Executive or your local power company. 

  Ensure that all warning labels are always visible and that they are not damaged, defaced or 

missing. 

  Lower the head to the ground when parking up 

  Fit locking pins to slew and height before transport and before unhitching when applicable. 

  Wear ear defenders if operating without a quiet cab or with the cab windows open. 

  Ensure tractor guards are fitted correctly and are undamaged 

  Work at a safe speed, taking into account terrain, passing vehicles and obstacles 

  Ensure that the tractor meets the minimum weight recommendations of the machine 

manufacturer and that ballast is used if necessary 

  Check that machine fittings and couplings are in good condition 

  Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attachment and removal of machine from the tractor 

are warning signs to alert others to the type of machine working in the vicinity. Signs should be 
placed at both ends of the work site and should be in accordance with Department of 
Transport recommendations. 

  Ensure flails are of the type recommended by the manufacturer, are securely fitted and are 

undamaged. 

  Ensure hydraulic pipes are correctly routed to avoid damage from chafing, stretching, pinching 

or kinking. 

  Disengage the machine, stop the engine and remove the key before leaving the tractor cab for 

any reason. 

  Clean up any debris left at the work site. 

  Ensure that when you remove the machine from the tractor it is secured in a safe position 

using the stands provided.
