RISKS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF GRASSLAND MACHINERY
Risk of crushing
Observers can be injured when the machine is lowered in the cutting position. Pasture toppers have
crushing points around the hinge areas and between the three-point linkage and the main body.
Respect the risk zone of 15 m!
Rotating blades
WARNING! Any person can risk injury by putting their hands or feet under the machine when it is
lifted from the ground and the blades are still rotating. Nobody is allowed in the vicinity during
operation or when the machine is running.
Risk of crushing
This risk is common in mechanical transmission devices such as belt drives, bevel gears and rollers.
Ensure that all guards are correctly fitted.
Rotating blades
Risk when disengaging machine
The heavier a rotating part is, the longer it will continue to rotate after the wheel drive has been
disconnected. This property is called free-wheeling. Rotating blades and other components
such as drive shafts etc. will continue to spin round after the wheel drive has been disconnected.
Injuries occur:
•
When the operator disconnects the equipment and attempts to clean or adjust the machine
before the components have stopped rotating.
•
When the shear bolt in the protective device in the power outlet disintegrates and the
rotors continue to spin while the power outlet has stopped. The operator's awareness is of
key importance for safety around rotating parts. Never raise the machine while the blades are
still rotating!
Risk of ejected objects
Machines that cut grass eject material during operation. Foreign objects such as stones, sticks and
other debris can find their way under the machine and be ejected at great speed. Metal guards
at the sides and front prevent these objects being ejected, but this is no guarantee that they will
always capture everything.
Observers or animals standing in the way of an ejected object can suffer serious injury.
Never operate the machine when there are observers nearby.
Respect the equipment's risk zone of 15-25 m!
Noise
Note that the machine is intended for outdoor use and that the operator's position is the driver's
seat of the tractor. It is advisable to read the directions given in the tractor manual and maintenance
instructions. The sound pressure level during operation exceeds 70 dB. Hearing protection must
therefore be worn during operation.
Accidents involving slipping and falling are often a result of:
•
Slippery surface
•
Uneven steps and work platforms.
The risk of slips and falls can be reduced considerably by exercising good judgement.
All unprotected rotating machine parts increase the risk of accidents. Accidents usually occur when
loose-fitting clothing or long hair is caught and wrapped around rotating parts, such as PTO shafts
or drive shafts on the machine. Ensure that all guards are correctly fitted.
