The operator must ensure that there is no person in the ‘Danger Zone’.

Always be familiar with the health and safety requirements that may be in 
force in the country of use.

During operation

While operating this machine on hilly, rough or sloping ground the operator 
must take extra precautions. The ‘Danger Zone’ is increased in such 
conditions. Always travel at a speed suitable for the ground conditions.

Precaution must be taken when travelling over sloping or rough ground due to 
the risk of overturning. Always travel at a speed suitable for the ground 
conditions.

The operator must ensure that there is a minimum of 4 m clearance between 
the machine and any obstacle above, in particular electrical high voltage lines.

Particular care must be taken, if the machine is left idle for any extended 
period, to ensure that all sensors and safety features are working correctly.

Before travelling on public roads

The owner of this machine is obliged by law to ensure that every operator has 
a valid driving licence and is familiar with the road traffic regulations relating to 
the country of use.

Always ensure that the hydraulic supply is switched off.

Always ensure that the side guards are fully retracted.

Ensure the machine is in the correct transport position.

The operator must ensure that there is a minimum of 1 m clearance between 
the machine and any obstacle above, like low bridges, arches or tunnels. But 
in the case of electrical high voltage lines a minimum clearance of 4 m should 
be allowed.

Performing maintenance

Maintenance and repair work on the machine should always be carried out in 
accordance with this manual.

Maintenance and repair work exceeding the content of this manual should 
only be carried out by qualified persons or your 

McHale

 dealer.

WARNING: Do not carry people or animals on the machine

The operator must ensure that no persons or animals are carried on the 
machine at any time or are hidden under the machine (on the tractor 
persons are only allowed to sit on the relevant seats).
