Before working on
this machine or altering any setting, the operator must
ensure the following:
(a)
The tractor has definitely stopped moving
(b)
The hand brake is applied
(c)
The engine is shut down
(d)
The ignition key is removed
(e)
PTO shaft is removed from PTO stub
(f)
Hydraulic oil supply is switched off
When conducting maintenance work always support the machine properly.
Where possible, lower the attachment or implement to the ground before you
work on the machine. If it is not possible to lower the machine or attachment
to the ground, always securely support the machine or attachment. Do not
work under a machine that is solely supported by a jack. Never support the
machine with props that may break or crumble under continuous load.
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 controls 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
CAUTION: Before carrying out work on this machine
It is forbidden to open any safety guards or to carry out any work on the
machine, unless the above specified precautions have been carried out.
