Ensure the tractor front, rear and side(s) are fitted with metal mesh or polycarbonate
guards of suitable size and strength to protect the operator against thrown debris or
parts.
▲
Ensure tractor guards are fitted correctly, are undamaged and kept properly
maintained.
▲
Ensure that all machine guards are in position, are undamaged, and are kept
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
▲
Ensure flails and their fixings are of a type recommended by the manufacturer, are
securely attached and that none are missing or damaged.
▲
Ensure hydraulic pipes are carefully and correctly routed to avoid damage by chaffing,
stretching or pinching and that they are held in place with the correct fittings.
▲
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attachment and removal of the
machine from the tractor.
▲
Check that the machine fittings and couplings are in good condition.
▲
Ensure the tractor meets the minimum weight recommendations of the machine
manufacturer and that ballast is used as necessary.
▲
Always inspect the work area thoroughly before starting to note obstacles and remove
wire, bottles, cans and other debris.
▲
Use clear suitably sized warning signs to alert others to the nature of the machine
working within that area. Signs should be placed at both ends of the work site. (It is
recommended that signs used are of a size and type specified by the Department of
Transport and positioned in accordance with their and the Local Highways Authority
guidelines).

Ensure the operator is protected from noise. Ear defenders should be worn and tractor
cab doors and windows must be kept closed. Machine controls should be routed

Extra special attention should be applied to Overhead Power Lines. Some of our
machines are capable of reach in excess of 8 metres (26 feet) this means
they
have
the potential to well exceed, by possibly 3 metres (9’ 9”), the lowest legal minimum
height of 5.2 metres from the ground for 11,000 and 33,000 volt power lines. It cannot
be stressed enough the dangers that surround this capability, it is therefore vital that
