RI 60-80
It is recommended that forward speed is kept to a minimum when starting
work in order to retain the correct working speed of the blades. Set the angle of the
cutter so it is positioned at right angles to the work and adjust the machine position so
the knifes meet the grass ‘straight on’.
Wherever possible try to keep the knifes running horizontal in relation to the direction
of travel, this will help prevent them from ‘distorting’ during operations.
Should small branches, debris or unwanted material get stuck in the knifes the
machine and tractor must be switched off
and the ignition key removed before
attempting to clear the blockage. Use safety glasses and work gloves during work.
If the tool is raised for any reasons it
must
be supported in a secure way.
When in charge of the machine always obey the following rules:
•
Always inspect the work area prior to operation and remove any dangerous
materials.
•
Never operate the machine with persons or animals in close proximity.
•
Ensure all cab guarding is in place and the tractor windows are kept shut.
•
Only operate the machine at the correct knife speed.
•
Never approach the machine when it is running, always switch it off and stop
the tractor.
•
Always remove the vehicle ignition key before leaving the cab.
•
Never use the machine to perform tasks it was not designed for.
•
Always lower the machine to rest on the ground when the unit is parked up or
not in use.

RI 60-80:
Great care must taken when attempting to
clear debris from the blade and/or belt area of the
machine; sharp components and numerous pinch risk
points exist in these locations. Safety gloves and safety
eyewear should be worn and wherever possible a
suitable tool should be used to remove any debris to
ensure hands and fingers are kept clear of any risk
areas.
