a)
The operator must remain at the tractor driving seat when using the shredder.
The operator
must not leave the tractor driving seat if the tractor’s power take-off has not been
removed and if the shredders moving parts (rotors etc) have not come to a complete
standstill. The arrest time for the rotating parts of the shredder is approximately 3
minutes.
b)
Under normal conditions, that is with the rear hood closed, the operator must ensure that
there are no persons present within a 20 metre range surrounding the shredder when
starting the shredder and during work. The operator must immediately stop both the
tractor and the shredder if one or more persons enter the 20 metre range surrounding the
machine.
c)
The operator cannot use the tractor’s lifter without having first removed the power take-off
(PTO).
Prior the lifting the shredder using the tractor lifter the operator must ensure that
the power take-off (PTO) is removed and that the rotor is at a standstill.
d)
It is strictly prohibited to go in reverse while continuing to chop; i.e. with the tractor PTO
engaged. Before starting the reverse manoeuvre, always wait till the rotor has completely
stopped.
e)
The front part of the machine is equipped with oscillating protective devices designed to
prevent any material from being thrown out while working. You need to check these
devices constantly to make sure that they are free to oscillate and that they are not
deformed (crooked or bent). This check is very important particularly on stony ground
where these protective devices are subject to numerous impacts during normal work. If
the protective devices are deformed, they must be replaced immediately.
f)
To protect your eyes from any objects thrown out from the shredder while working,
always wear suitable work goggles.
