WARNING!
Always carry out safe maintenance. Before attempting any repair or maintenance to the machine,
always switch off the tractor engine and remove the P.T.O. shaft. Do not work under any machine raised on
hydraulics unless it is supported by a solid safety support.
WARNING!
Beware of dust. Keep tractor cab windows and doors closed at all times to reduce the risk of dust
and flying debris from entering. In dusty conditions the use of a suitable mask, to EN 149, is strongly
recommended.
WARNING!
Never handle leaks in hydraulic hoses which are under pressure. High pressure hydraulic oil can
pierce skin and enter the blood stream.
WARNING!
Certain tractor implement combinations, dependant on operating conditions, may generate a
noise level in excess of 90db at the operator’s ear, even in a 'Q' cab. In these circumstances ear defenders
should be worn. Keep cab windows and doors closed at all times to reduce noise levels.

Do not start or carry out maintenance on this machine until you have read all the safety
precautions to be observed and until you fully understand the controls and functions of the machine as detailed
in the following sections. If you do not understand any part of this manual, ask your dealer for assistance.

Never operate the machine with any of the rotor blades missing or damaged. To prevent injury
when changing the blades, always block the rotor to stop it rotating.

A four leg chain sling is required to hoist the machine. The sling should be approved to a
minimum lift capacity of one tonne. The lifting points are clearly marked with 'hook' symbols.
WARNING!
Always ensure the tractor front end weight is sufficient to give proper front wheel contact and safe
steering when machine is raised on tractor hydraulics.

Never operate the machine when bystanders are present as foreign objects could be ejected at
very high speed from underneath it.

It is the owner's/operator's responsibility to ensure that the machine is fitted with correct lighting
and safety markings when moving it on the public highway during the hours of darkness.
CAUTION!
