Tyres should be inspected for wear on a regular basis. Tyres should be
replaced before wear becomes excessive or after 10 years from the date of
manufacture, as indicated on the tyre. Care must be taken when handling
tyres. Tyres shall be inflated to the pressures indicated in this manual and on
the machine and never over inflated. Tyres shall only be inflated while on the
machine or in an appropriate safety cage.
Never disable any electrical safety circuits, tamper with safety devices or carry
out any unauthorised modification to the machine.
Replace any electrical or hydraulic devices immediately, at the first sign of
malfunction or failure, as these components affect the functionality,
sequencing and thus safety of operation. Never use a machine where a
malfunction exists! Contact your
McHale
dealer to achieve a solution. Always
think ‘Safety First’!
Avoid heating near pressurised fluid lines, as pressurised lines can be
accidentally damaged when heat goes beyond the immediate flame area.
Regular clean down is recommended in order to maintain the machine in a
safe and reliable working condition.
McHale
recommend that the machine be
blown down with an air line, as opposed to a pressure washer, due to the
dangers involved with pressure washing and to protect the overall paint work
on the machine. If, despite our advice, a pressure washer is used then take
extreme caution and operate from ground level only. Never climb onto any
part of the machine, while pressure washing, due to the fact that all metal
surfaces become extremely wet and slippery and always ensure that the
tractor has been shut down, with the ignition key removed.
During inspection
If on the rare occasion that it is necessary for an inspection to be carried out
within the ‘Danger Zone’ while the machine is running
(extremely dangerous
and not recommended!)
, there shall be a fully trained and competent second
person operating both the tractor and machine controls. The tractor hand
brake shall be applied and the electronic control box shall be in manual mode.
The machine shall be on level ground with all guards closed. Communication
is key. The operator shall inform the inspector before any machine function is
activated. The inspector shall remain in the field of vision of the operator at all
times and inform the operator of their intended actions. If communication is
lost with the operator, or they move within 1.1 m of moving parts or parts that
have the potential to move, all tractor power shall be turned off immediately.
Guidance for safety of children on farms
All adults working or present on farms are required, by law, to do everything
reasonably practical to ensure the safety and health of children and young
people on the farm.
Children must be supervised at all times! Remember, farms are not
playgrounds!
Store farm machinery with safety & stability in mind. Lower any implements or
loaders to the ground and apply the hand brake.
