Transportation Safety
▲
In transport, reduce speed, especially on bumpy roads, the weight of the
machine may render driving difficult and damage the machine itself.
▲
Ensure the levers that operate the hydraulic lift are locked, to avoid the
lowering of the machine during transport.
▲
When driving on public roads, respect all road rules in force.
▲
Never transport the machine with the rotor running, even for short
distances.
Operating Safety
▲
Pay special attention when working with the machine not to touch fixed
objects such as road drain, walls, shafts, kerbs, guard rails, tracks etc.
This could cause the breakage of the flails, which would be thrown out of
the machine at very high speed.
▲
If wires, ropes or chains should become entangled in the rotor stop
immediately to prevent damage or dangerous situations; stop the rotor and
the tractor, take out the starting key. Put working gloves on; clear the rotor
with the aid of pliers or shears. Do not try to disentangle by inverting the
rotational direction of the rotor.
▲
Do not use the machine when excessive vibration is experienced, as this
may cause breakage and serious damage - find the cause of the vibration
and eliminate it before using the machine again.
Although the information given here covers a wide range of safety subjects, it is
impossible to predict every eventuality that can occur under differing circumstances
whilst operating this machine. No advice given here can replace ‘good common sense’
and ‘total awareness’ at all times, but will go a long way towards the safe use of your
Spearhead machine.
