11.2.11. BE ATTENTIVE WITH ABRASIVE GRIT PIECES
Be very careful when you change such abrasive spare parts as parts of
the plough bottoms or disc coulters. Because of the chafing to the soil
they can become razor edged.
¾
The plough sole be so acute that if they go under the skin or penetrate into the eye they
can cause very serious injuries.
¾
The disc coulter can cause deep wound.
The screw heads on the abrasive part of the plough can cause cuttings. NEVER hold the
screw with your bare hand, especially if you loosen them with the hexagon key. They may
slip and cause serious cuttings. Use clamps or a piece of wood.
To avoid the danger of accident:
Wear thick leather protective gloves.
Wear protective glasses (goggles) every time when you use a welding torch
or grinders, cutting off machines to cut some spare part or screw.
11.2.12. PAY ATTENTION TO GAS AND FLUID UNDER THE PRESSURE
The fluid under the pressure during discharging can
cause injury getting on your skin or eyes.
Systematically check hydraulic connections and
flexible pipes condition.
The hydraulic circuit breaking or leakage must be
repaired at once.
To avoid any accident before the hydraulic pipes
connecting or disconnecting, you should eliminate the
inside pressure.
That is why after the tractor was stopped and the plough put down on the ground, push the
hydraulic distribution levers which are in the switchboard, from the front position back in
order to release the oil under the pressure.
Before you put the hydraulic circuit under the pressure, check if
component parts and connecting elements (joints, flexible pipes) are in
good condition.
Wear thick protective gloves and glasses (goggles)!.
NEVER search the leakage with you hand.
Use a stick and wear thick leather gloves.
For bigger safety use protective glasses.
Keep suitable distance in the case of any leakage.
If you are injured because of fluid leakage, at one go to see a doctor! If any fluid has got on
your skin you should clean it as it may cause gangrene which leads to amputation or even
death.
Every doctor who cannot cure any type of such injury should connect with the professional
institution.
During the work the back window of the tractor cabin must be properly shut. The glass
provides protection in the case of fluid leakage.
