7.3.4 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Although the risk of personal injury is limited with this ELIET seeder, the operator’s feet are
most vulnerable. Sturdy closed shoes with a steel top are highly recommended.
• The person operating this machine must wear suitable clothing, i.e. covering the entire body.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing (a shawl, for instance, is a potential hazard)
• Long hair must be contained using a cap or a headband, or worn in a ponytail.
• For protection of the most sensitive senses, ELIET recommends hearing protection.
• Be extra alert when wearing hearing protection: it can impair the ability to hear warning
sounds (such as yelling, signal tones, etc.). With this in mind, ELIET strongly advices against
hearing protection with a built-in music player.
• As indicated on the safety sticker on the machine, the operator must wear safety gloves and
safety goggles in addition to hearing protection.
• Working the soil can cause a large amount of dust, especially under warm and dry weather
circumstances. ELIET recommends using a dust mask if your respiratory airways become agi-
tated as a result (masks should comply with the 89/686/EEC standard).
For your information:
The operator of the machine can reduce the risk of injury by wearing the proper
personal protection equipment.
7.3.5 Ergonomics
• For optimum use, the rear end of the machine will have to be lifted regularly when turning.
This is necessary because the rear roller is fabricated as one piece and spans the entire width
of the machine. The roller is propelled laterally by a chain that is connected to the left front
roller and as such, does not have a separate differential.
Therefore, it is important to take into account the following points:
o Place the handlebar at the correct height (read § 9.4.1.3)
o Be sure to wear shoes with a sole that provide sufficient grip.
o Hold the handlebar with both hands.
o While lifting, keep your back straight, also your lower back, and tighten the muscles of your
arms such that the strength comes from your legs, not from your back.
o Bend your knees to let your upper legs do most of the work.
o If you need to turn, pivot your feet instead of twisting at the waist.
