Projection of stones and foreign objects
For driver safety, always use a tractor equipped with a
cab. Keep the ground to be shredded free from foreign
objects. Avoid using the shredder on stony or rocky
ground. If this is not possible, take extra safety
precautions, such as:
- Fit polycarbonate screens inside the tractor cab's side
and rear windows, or install narrow mesh guards on
their exterior.
- Increase the cutting height to avoid contact with
stones or rocks.
Never start the shredder when there are people nearby.
Even when the machine is used in accordance with its
purpose, objects may be projected. Stones and other
foreign objects projected by the moving parts can travel
a considerable distance. Keep all persons and animals
away from the danger zone.
The guard plates/covers on the machine help reduce the
risks of projection. Therefore, make sure that all
shredder protection devices are in place and good
condition prior to using the machine.
Regularly check the condition of the guard plates/covers.
Immediatly replace any worn, damaged or missing
guard plate/cover.
Precautions for machine use
Before using the shredder, inspect shredding tools
(knives, rotors) and their attachment hardware in
accordance with the instructions given in the present
manual. Immediatly replace any worn, damaged or
missing guard plate/cover. Before engaging the pto
drive, lower the shredder onto the ground. For your
safety, only use genuine parts !
