SPECIAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Use a tractor equipped with an enclosed cab with windows made of safety glass and kept closed. It is
recommended to fit polycarbonate screens inside the tractor safety cab's side and rear windows or to install mesh
guards on the exterior of them.
2. Stay a safe distance away from the mower when discs are rotating.
3. For safe machine operation, it is imperative that cutting tools be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers
recommendations. Use only the tool outfit supplied with the machine.
4. Each time before using the mower, inspect condition of cutting elements (knives, discs). Replace any missing,
worn or damaged cutting elements immediately. Use only genuine KUHN spare parts.
5. To avoid creating dangerous out of balance forces, always replace missing, damaged or worn knives in pairs.
6. When replacing knives or discs, systematically inspect their securing elements as per the manufacturers
recommendations.
7. Regularly inspect the disc mowers protection cover. Worn or damaged protection covers must be replaced
immediately.
8. Protection devices (such as guards, shields etc.) are intended to prevent stones, rocks or other foreign objects
from being projected. They also prevent access to the machines danger zones. Therefore, it is imperative that
protection devices are put in place and properly secured each time before using the machine.
9. Crushing and shearing zones which could cause serious bodily injury when changing the machine from transport
to work position and vice versa may exist. To prevent possible injury, be extra careful when maneuvering and
ensure that everyone is at a safe distance away from the machine.
10.PTO drive to the mower must never be engaged unless the cutterbar skid shoes are in contact with the ground
and the protective cover is folded down.
11.Ground of the pastures to be mown must be free of foreign objects.
12.Even when the machine is used in accordance with its purpose, objects may be projected. It is therefore
imperative that everyone be kept away from the danger zone, that extra care be taken and that extra precaution
(such as safety indicators) be taken when mowing pastures alongside roads or near public areas (parks, schools
etc.).
13.Never mow in reverse.
14.When disengaging the PTO drive, moving parts continue to rotate for some time. Wait for all moving parts to come
to a complete stop before approaching the machine.
15.If an obstruction is hit, stop the tractor immediately, disengage PTO drive, turn off engine, remove ignition key
and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.
Check the entire machine for any damage before resuming work.
16.It is strongly recommended to have your machine checked by your dealer after each season, especially blades
and discs and their fixing devices (nuts, bolts etc.).
