1.12 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1.12
Maintenance and Storage continued
When disconnecting the machine from the tractor, ensure that:
- The PTO drive is disengaged, the tractor parking brake is applied, the engine is stopped and the ignition key
is removed.
- The mower handbrake is applied.
- The jockey wheel jack is in a safe working condition and securely adjusted to support the front of the
machine.
- The PTO shaft is disconnected from the tractor and stored on the rest provided.
- Never rest the PTO shaft on the ground.
- The brake hose is disengaged and connected to the parking boss on the machine front bulkhead.
- Never allow the brake hose to rest on the ground.
- The brake breakaway cable is disconnected from the tractor.
Ensure that the handbrake lever is firmly strapped to the towing device in the 'release' position prior to
replacing a brake cable and do not release until the replacement cable is correctly tensioned. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury.
The Trailed Gang Mowers have been designed and constructed so that, in so far as is reasonably
practical, they meet the safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, they will not
endanger the safety and health of those working with them. This is, however, subject to the machine
being properly used and maintained according to the conditions stated in this manual and elsewhere,
which have been found necessary as a result of the research and testing.
