Tractor/Operator Guarding Tractor/Operator Guarding Tractor/Operator Guarding Tractor/Operator Guarding
Use a tractor with ‘safety glass’ windows if possible and fit Operator Guard (Part No.
OPT0603) using the hooks provided.
Shape ‘safety protection material’ to cover all vulnerable areas. Remember the driver
must be looking through ‘safety protection’ at the flail head in any working position.
If the windows are not laminated safety glass polycarbonate glazing must also be fitted.
If the tractor has a roll bar only, a frame must be made to carry both mesh and
polycarbonate glazing.
Ensure the operator is guarded by ‘safety protection’ whatever position the machine is in
and that the protection is such that it does not interfere with tractor and machine functions
or obstruct the operator’s vision.
