5. Safety instructions
□
Ensure that the operator knows and understands the operation of the machine and tractor.
The two have to be operated simultaneously what requires practice. If this is not the case, the operator
should choose a piece of flat ground without people or obstacles on it to practice.
□
Never work in an explosive or inflammable atmosphere.
□
Only work with good lighting, natural or artificial.
□
Never work with any safety guards or covers removed.
□
Never start the machine if it is not in good working order and especially if any safety guards or covers are not
in place.
□
When using the machine for mowing. (ie rotor turning in opposite direction to forward travel of tractor wheels)
it is essential that the front hood and flaps be fitted to prevent the risk of any material being thrown by the
rotor.
□
Never leave the rotor turning if a person could be in the path of any material that could be thrown out by it.
□
Never move the arm if any person could be within the machine’s operating area.
□
Do not stand or walk under the machine.
□
Never insert branches or objects by hand during operation of the rotor.
□
Always make sure that all hydraulic components and fittings are not under pressure before removal.
BEFORE DOING ANY WORK ON THE MACHINE :
- lower the tool to the ground
- stop the rotor.
- stop the PTO.
- stop the tractor / cv’s engine.
- place the gear lever in neutral and apply the parking brake.
- ensure that all hydraulic cylinders, hoses etc are not under pressure.
- to be sure, operate all sections on the main valve block in both directions
with the manual lever provided.
Relieve any pressure in the accumulator before carrying out any maintenance.
To be sure, open the valve situated behind the reservoir in the case of machines not equipped with electric
accumulator command.
For machines equipped with electric command, the procedure is as follows:
- start the engine and engage the PTO.
- switch on the machine.
- lower the tool to the ground.
- switch on the <ACCU> switch on the control panel.
- move the control lever forward as if to lower the first-arm.
- switch off the <ACCU> switch on the control panel.
ANY OTHER PROCEDURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE OR SAFE
The oil tank is under 0.3 bar of pressure. Before any work on the machine, please make sure components are
no more under pressure by removing the tank cap, taking care about temperature and pressure.
ATTENTION, the machine uses a hydraulic accumulator which may still be under pressure
Before using your mower/flail-mower it is important to read these safety rules.
