2.1.
Safety principles
Prior to operation read the operator's manual carefully.
Ignorance of the operator’s manual can lead to blower's damages.
DO NOT use blower to applications other than mentioned.
DO NOT apply any modifications of construction without prior arrangement with the
manufacturer.
When driving on public roads always respect the local traffic regulations.
Operating speeds of the tractor and plow set should be adjusted to operating conditions such as:
size of unevenness, presence of stones, curbs and other municipal obstacles,
It is recommended to keep low operating speed – with low tractor gears engaged. Operation with
higher speed may expose the operator to injuries and blower’s and tractor’s 3-point linkage parts
to damaging.
There should be no unauthorized personnel present within the blower’s operating reach.
Prior to operating, the machine should undergo a technical inspection paying particular attention
to condition of basic connections of machine’s assemblies as well as proper mounting of the
machine to a tractor.
When performing any activity requiring lifting onto tractor’s 3-point linkage, it is necessary to
protect the blower from falling.
Bolts and other fasteners should be inspected on regular basis. Operating with damaged or worn
fasteners is not admissible.
No person or object is allowed to be present on the blower when transported or operating.
Blower should be mounted on tractor only with genuine pins and safety devices.
When not operating, the blower should be in standstill position.
Damaged hydraulic hoses and other hydraulic parts should be replaced with new ones.
Use only genuine spare parts, which can be ordered at our store or at your dealer.
For any repair, maintenance and adjustment works always wear safety gloves.
Do not leave the tractor with mounted blower on slopes. If need be, the engine should be shut
down, tractor’s parking brake engaged and the blower lowered.
The blower should be stored in a roofed place, in compact position – with cylinders off to
provide good protection of bearings.
In case of a fatal failure, stop the machine's drive, turn the tractor's engine off and take out the
ignition key. Then call for technical service, and if an accident (in this case: road accident)
occurs, respect first aid rules and contact responsible authorities.
In the event of any break in the equipment operation, turn off the drive.
The operator is not allowed to leave the tractor while driving.
NOTE:
Securing both danger area and activity performed shall lie under
responsibility of the person in charge of the machine transporting.
