Chapter 2: General safety measures and regulations
Section 1 Safety alarm: words, symbols and signs
The safety of the operator is one of the
main worries or whoever designs and
develops a new flail mower. Our design
department, therefore, aim to offer
as many safety devices as possible.
However, every year we find that many
accidents could have been avoided
had the operator been less hurried and
more careful when handling agricultural
machineries and equipment.
This machine has been designed for
cutting a/o chopping of high grass,
hedges and underbush, to be used
by one operator only. Any other
(improper) use is forbidden.
The operator is responsible to keep
a distance of at least ten meters from
the machine clear of any people
when using the machine.
Please read and follow the safety
instructions in this chapter of the
manual in detail.
In this instruction booklet you can find
warnings for safety or damage to the
flail mower. Please observe these
warnings carefully in order to avoid
the risk of injury or damage. There are
three kinds of warnings in this booklet:
