SAFETY
In addition to the standard safety guidelines listed at the
beginning of this handbook, the following special safety
items apply to the Tomahawk.
1 The machine shall be operated by one person
only.
2 NEVER put your hands inside the delivery
chutes. In the event of a blockage clear it
using the Blockage Removal Tool provided, located
on the front of the lower housing. First, disengage
the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait
for the rotor to come to rest.
3 NEVER enter the bale chamber unless the
PTO has been disengaged, the engine has
been stopped with key removed from the
ignition, and the machine has come to rest.
4 NEVER insert anything inside the chute or bale
chamber while the machine is running.
5
DANGER. When entering or leaving the bale
chamber take care, the tailgate surface may
be slippery.
6
Beware of overhead power lines when the
swivel chute deflectors are fully raised. Contact
with power lines could result in the operator receiving
a severe electric shock.
7 Do not climb onto the top edges of the bale chamber
whilst the machine is use.
8 Do not allow anyone to ride on the machine or tractor
linkage or drawbar.
9 Do not allow persons or animals to stand in front of
the outlet chutes whilst the machine is running.
10 Do not operate the tailgate if any person or animal is
standing in the loading area behind the machine,
always ensure good rearward visibility when lowering
the tailgate.
11 Never put your hand over a hydraulic leak. Oil under
pressure may enter the blood stream.
12 The shredding of dusty or mouldy material can
create dust which may have adverse health effects.
Operator exposure to such conditions should be
avoided where possible. When circumstances
prevent this, either use a tractor with a suitable
forced air cab filtration system or an adequate
respirator. Respirators must comply with the relevant
Standard and be approved by the Safety
Inspectorate. Disposable filtering face piece
respirators to EN149 or half mask respirators to
EN140 fitted with filters to EN 143 are likely to be
adequate.
13
Before disconnecting the hydraulic hoses always
lower the tailgate onto the ground for safety reasons
and to avoid residual pressure in the hoses.
14 Always fit the correct size tyre onto the rims when
fitting replacements.
15 Care must be taken when handling large bales, as
they have sufficient weight and density to cause
serious injury. Large bales should be handled with
appropriate machinery either directly into the Tomahawk
or into a position where they can be self loaded. Do not
manually load bales from the stack above the machine,
so as to prevent the risks of falling into the machine and
collapse of the stack of bales.
LEFT AND RIGHT HAND
In this Handbook and Parts List, the terms Left and
Right Hand apply to the machine when viewed looking
towards the rear of the tractor.
USE OF THE TOMAHAWK
The materials shown in table 1 below can be processed
depending on the crossbeater fitted to the machine.
Table 1. Recommended Material
Its use for shredding other materials is not
recommended without first seeking advice from the
manufacturers.
The machine must never be run with the chute
components removed. Unapproved chute modifications
should not be carried out as Safety Regulations may be
infringed.
USE ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY
If the machine is to be transported along the public
highway (any road where the public have access)
behind the tractor, it may be necessary to fit lights to
comply with local road traffic legislation, as the machine
is likely to obscure the tractor rear light units.
Suitable lighting kits are available from your local
supplier or may be obtained by contacting Teagle
Machinery Ltd.
The Tomahawk is classed as a trailed implement and as
such does not require brakes when used in the United
Kingdom so long as a maximum speed limit of 20 mph is
observed. For all other countries local regulations must
be observed.
Failure to comply with road traffic legislation may lead to
prosecution by local law enforcement agencies and
could also result in a road traffic accident.
