General
This turf maintenance system is designed to be operated by a 4WD
tractor of not less than 30HP with hydraulic lifting capacity of at least
450kg. Front weights may be necessary when operating this machine.
All operators must also read and follow all instructions in the operator
’s
handbook supplied with the tractor.
Before Starting the Tractor Engine
Check that the brakes are applied, drives are in neutral, guards are in
position and intact, and bystanders are clear of the machine. Do not run
the engine in a building without adequate ventilation.
Operating the Machine
Always wear suitable protective clothing (eg. Gloves and steel toecap
footwear) when operating sharp or heavy machinery.
Before moving the machine, check to ensure that all parts are in good
working order, paying particular attention to tyres, steering, brakes and
lights. Double check that the attachment is fitted securely to the tractor
3-point linkage.
Always observe the Highway Code both on and off the roads. Keep
alert and aware at all times. Remember that some people are deaf or
blind, and that children and animals can be unpredictable. Keep
travelling speeds low enough for an emergency stop to be effective and
safe at all times.
Take special care when reversing and ensure that the area behind is
clear of obstructions. Remove or avoid obstructions in the working area.
