•
Never drive the tractor with arm out stretched (except when cutting). When
moving at work always first retract arms. Transport with care. Metal fatigue is
always caused by careless transportation and misuse. If the ground is uneven
or bumpy slow down.
•
Read operator’s manual and be fully familiar with all operational maintenance
and safety procedures.
•
Practice in open space without rotor running until familiar with controls. Take
care working the head close to the tractor as it may be possible to strike the
tractor.
•
Remember one of the clever features of the Excel range is its ability to
operate within a very narrow space, often within the tractors width. This will
mean it is quite possible for the flail head to foul the tractor. Practice all these
positions and be very familiar with your machine before ever attempting work.
•
Never operate above the recommended P.T.O. speed of 540rpm. Failure to
heed this warning will result in severe damage, i.e. greatly increased oil
temperature, risk of rotor going out of balance, as well as reduced machine
life, and could cause expensive repairs
•
Failure to start and stop the rotor at a low P.T.O. speed or to operate at the
correct speed will result very quickly in severe motor and/or pump damage
•
Be very careful when operating on sloping ground.
•
Never attempt to operate the machine while going backwards. It will
immediately damage the arms and possibly the flail head. Remember, before
selecting reverse gear always lift the flail head out of work and retract the
arms towards the tractor.
•
If warnings are not followed concerning striking the tractor wheels, particularly
when the tractor is moving, the machine may get damaged.
