Safety
The Standen TSP 1900 has been designed to comply with current Safety Regulations.
However, as with all machinery there will be inherent dangers whilst operating and
carrying out maintenance on the machine. The following safety precautions should
therefore be brought to the attention of all persons operating and working on the
machine. The list is not exhaustive. All machinery is potentially dangerous and the
operators must exercise great care at all times. Standen Engineering Limited will not
accept liability for damage or injury caused by their products except when such liability
is specifically imposed by English statute.
Machine Noise Level
Average continuous noise level at the operator’s ear with machine harvesting crop is
80.75dB (maximum peak level 85.6dB). It should be noted that this level could vary
dependant upon tractor/machine combinations.
Operation
The machine must never be
operated by untrained
personnel or children.
Never set machinery in
motion before ensuring that
everyone in the vicinity is
aware of your intentions.
Never wear loose clothing
and always tie back long hair
whilst working on the picking
area of the machine.
Before carrying out any work
on the machine, lower the
machine to the ground,
switch off the tractor engine,
apply the handbrake, remove
the ignition key and
disconnect the PTO shaft.
Never operate the machine
with the discharge elevator in
the folded transport position.
Never attempt to fit drive
chains or drive belts to the
machine while the drive
sprockets or pulleys are in
motion.
Normal safe working
procedures should be
adopted at all times. Reduce
speed when transporting the
machine on sloping ground.
Do not work on ground where
there is a possibility of
overturning or across steep
slopes.
The working area should be
kept clear and free of
obstructions at all times.
Be alert for hidden
obstructions. Should the
machine hit an obstruction,
stop and check for damage
before proceeding.
1.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never allow children or
animals in the vicinity where
machines are working and
never allow anyone to ride
on the machine.
The hydraulic oil reservoir is
integral within the chassis side
beams which can become hot
during operation. Therefore,
take care when touching the
chassis and steel pipework.
