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 shredder when rotor is rotating.
3. Each time before using the shredder, inspect condition of cutting elements. Replace any missing, worn or
damaged cutting elements immediately. Use only genuine KUHN spare parts.
4. When replacing cutting elements, systematically inspect their securing elements as per the manufacturers
recommendations.
5. Protection devices 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.
6. PTO drive to the shredder must never be engaged unless the machine is in contact with the ground.
7. Even when the machine is used in accordance with it 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.).
8. Never work in reverse.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. It is strongly recommended to have your machine checked by your dealer after each season, especially cutting
elements and their fixing devices.
