GENERAL WORKING PRACTICES
It is the operators’ responsibility to develop, and adhere to, safe working practices.
ALWAYS:
Be aware of hazards in the vicinity
Make sure all guards are in position and in good condition.
Disengage P.T.O. before stopping the engine.
Wait until the flail has stopped running before leaving the tractor seat.
Disengage the P.T.O. and stop the tractor engine before making any
adjustments.
Check frequently that all nuts and bolts are tight.
Keep bystanders at a safe distance.
BREAKAWAY
An automatically resetting, power assisted, gravity breakaway system protects the machine
when an obstruction is encountered.
The spring pre-load is factory set and non-adjustable.
Breakaway reset forces are absorbed by a pre-tensioned hollow rubber spring unit.
The breakaway geometry is such that there is a possibility of an unstable condition occurring
when in the broken back position at full height. When operating in conditions where there is
any likelihood of this happening e.g. when cutting high hedges on sloping ground the latch
must always be in the lowered position. Where it acts as an abutment stop.
