Safety Rules During Use - FERRI TR Series Maintenance And Use Manual

Rev. 01.00
■
Use the 3 point hitch to raise the machine at the maximum height to the ground.
■
Drive on the road should if permetted by law.
■
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the brakes smoothly to determine the stopping cha-
racteristics of the tractor and implement.
Always proceed at a moderate speed, especially on rough surfaces and steep gradients, to
avoid overbalancing. The weight of the machine alters the stability of the tractor and influen-
ces its behaviour on the rood, steering and braking capacity.
It is obligatory to check the lifting capacity and the stability of the tractor to avoid its tipping

and/or losing the grip of the steering wheels.
3.3 Safety rules during use
Always check the machine carefully before starting up.(see par.4.5)
Check the integrity of any protection.
WARNING
Many objects such as wire, cable, rope or chains could swing outside the housing of the
machine at greater velocities than blades.
Inspect the cutting area and remove any like object from the site.
WARNING
■
Pay special attention, when working with the machine, not to touch fixed objects, such as road drain wells, shafts, stones, guard
rails, tracks, etc. This could cause the breakage of the flails, which would be thrown at very high speed.
■
If metal wires, ropes, chains or similar, get tangled around the blades, put the controls in neutral, switch off the tractor engine,
put on the parking brake, remove the ignition key from the dashboard and wait for all the moving parts to stop moving, so
as not to cause damage or create dangerous situations. Put working gloves on, clear the blades with the aid of pliers or
shears. Do not try to disentagle by inverting the rotational direction of the rotor.
■
Do not use the machine when there is vibration in the flail head, as this would cause breakages and serious damage. Find
the cause of the vibration and eliminate it.
■
Do not operate if exists excessive vibration. Inspect the machine to determine the source of the vibration and resolve the
problem before operate.
■
Do not operate with the arm in extension if the tractor is on a sloping ground; anyway check the stability of the tractor case
by case as required. In order to check the tractor's stability safety, it is necessary to keep the flail head horizontal and as close
as possible to the ground and then to lower the arm slowly.
■
Before using the hydraulic controls for horizontal or vertical movements with the machine, the operator must make sure that no
person; animal or things are around in the working area. It is forbidden to start any hydraulic movement if any or more people
stand at less than 5 meter from the machine.
■
Read and understand the Operator's Manual and all safety signs before operating, servicing, adjusting, reparing or unplug-
ging.
■
Do not allow riders.
■
Check all guards and shields before starting or operating, and repair or replace them if they're broken.
■
Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
■
Disengage all controls, stop tractor engine, set park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, reparing or unplugging.
■
Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, before starting.
■
Stay away from machine hazard area when tractor engine or machine are running. Keep others away.
■
Keep all hydraulic lines, fittings and couplers tight and free of leaks before using (see par. 3.4).
■
Clean reflectors, SMV and lights before trasporting.
■
Use hazard flashers on tractor when trasporting.
■
Do not put hands or feet under machine while tractor engine or machine are running.
■
Objects can be thrown out from under machine with sufficient force to severely injure people. Stay away from machine when
it is running. Keep others away.
