3 Accident prevention and safety issues
Most accidents happen because someone ignores the most elementary safety
rules during operation, maintenance or transport. It is vital that all persons co-
ming in contact with the machine - the purchaser himself/herself, a member of
his/her family, an employee, a bystander - strictly obey the following safety ru-
les. Other safety instructions are to be found on the decals placed in various
prominent positions on the machine. The machine should only be set up for
operation, operated and maintained by persons who have received instructions
with regard to potential dangers.
•
Observe all safety notes contained in this operator manual and all current
statutory safety and accident prevention regulations!
•
Warning and instruction decals give important information to operate the
fertiliser spreader without danger and to serve to increase the safety of the
operator.
•
Before every operation, check nuts and bolts and other fixings for tightness,
especially those of the spreading discs and spreading vanes. If necessary,
tighten to recommended torque settings.
•
Before using the machine, operators must familiarise themselves with all
parts of the equipment and the function of all controls and adjustments.
Finding out during operation may be too late.
•
Before every operation, ensure that the tractor/spreader combination
complies with all relevant road traffic, as well as health and safety, regulati-
ons.
•
When filling the hopper, lower the spreader and switch off the tractor engi-
ne. Remove ignition key before leaving the tractor cab. Make sure mete-
ring and shutter slide controls are closed.
•
Before adjusting or undertaking other work such as cleaning, lubricating or
carrying out operations on the spreader, disengage the pto drive, switch off
the tractor engine, wait until all moving parts have come to a stop and re-
move the ignition key. During control or repair work, make sure no one can
start the unit by mistake.
Crushing hazard from power driven parts!
Rotating machine elements (discs, agitator, pto shaft) can cause serious injury
or death.
•
Only start the machine when the hopper sieve, disc guards, pto shrouds
and all other guards, are in place!
•
Always avoid wearing loose clothing or clothing with loose parts that are li-
able to come into contact with moving parts.
•
Avoid wearing clothes with belts, fringes or other items that could get
caught up in moving parts.
•
Never get close to revolving parts. Keep hands, feet and clothing well away.
•
Never reach into the hopper or touch the rotating discs.
•
Never climb onto the spreader when it is operating.
•
Keep the hopper free of any foreign objects (e.g. nuts or bolts).
