SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards involved in the operation of this
implement. Serious injury or death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of
both the operator and any other persons in the area. KEEP CLEAR AT ALL TIMES
The following is a list of some safeguards which should be followed. Serious injury or
death may occur unless care is taken.
▲
Where this is used as a rear-mounted implement it will remove weight from the front
wheels – this can result in less of steerage and risk of overturn. Add front end weight to
ensure 20% of tractor original weight is on the front wheels when the boom is in transport
position. This will aid steering safety reducing the risk of bodily injury.
▲
Always transport slowly on rough surface to prevent ‘bouncing’ of the front wheels
causing loss of steerage and possible injury.
▲
Always set tractor wheel width as wide as possible and add weights to the relevant
opposite wheel to counteract the weight of an extended implement.
▲
Operate the machine only with a tractor equipped with an approved roll-over-protection
system (ROPS). Always wear approved seat belts whenever the tractor or machine is
running. Serious injury or death could result from falling off the tractor seat. Do not alter
the ROPS structure.
▲
Always ensure that check chains/stabilizers are fitted and are in good condition and
tight.
▲
The operator and all support personnel should wear ‘Safety Shoes’, ‘Hard Hats’, and
‘Safety Glasses’ at all times to protect them against falling objects.
▲
Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the tractor/cutterbar
combination without training or supervision.
▲
Always familiarise yourself with the controls in a clear safe area before commencing
work.
▲
Always familiarise yourself with the local highway regulations and abide by them at all
times.
▲
The boom and cutterhead change the balance of the machine in transport. Be
especially careful when transporting on slopes. Never turn uphill in transport except at very
slow speed and a low rate of turn. Never transport or operate this machine on steep
slopes. BE CAREFUL.
▲
Always inspect the work area or hedgerow for wire, steel posts, or other dangerous
materials and remove them if possible before commencing work.
