McConnel ROBOCUT RC28 Operator's Manual page 16

Never operate the machine when standing directly in the line of travel.
Do not use the machine on sand piles, gravel, or other similar loose materials.
Only operate the machine in good light conditions.
Never start or run the machine in an enclosed area or building.
Keep the machine clean to avoid build ups of dry materials that could ignite on hot
components.
Never stand directly below a machine that is working or parked on a slope.
Always operate the joystick control slowly; rapid or jerky movements could cause the
machine to 'rear up' causing loss of control.
When operating the machine with the rotors running the operator must remain in a safe
position at least 5 metres away from the machine; always switch the rotors off before
approaching the machinery.
When using the machine the operator should place themselves in a position that
provides optimum visibility over the entire work area.
Never leave a running machine unattended; always switch the engine off and shut-off
main power.
Always stop and switch the machine off if persons or animals enter the work area; do
not restart the machine until they are at a safe distance.
Never use the machine to perform tasks it was not designed for.
Never ride or allow others to ride on the machine.
Always inspect the work area prior to operation and remove stones, glass, metal, wire
or any other foreign objects that are hazardous. Immovable hazards should be suitably
'marked' so they can be easily avoided.
Take extra care when operating the machine on slopes or uneven ground; there is
increased risk of objects being thrown from rotating equipment when working in these
conditions.
The machine can be used on slopes up to a maximum of 55° providing the surface is
dry and firm.
Should a machine overturn, a suitable crane or winch should be used to recover it;
keep all persons at a safe distance before and during recovery.
Do not operate the machine in foggy or frosty conditions as there is increased risk of
accidents.
Take extra care when working in close proximity to electrical cables; in some
circumstances, operating the machine under overhead power lines can result in loss of
radio signal causing the engine to be deactivated.
Do not operate the machine close to vehicles or properties where there is risk of
damage by objects accidentally ejected from the cutting unit.
It is the user's responsibility to protect persons in or near the work zone.
When servicing or maintaining the machinery no-one should be allowed beneath it
when it is raised unless it is securely supported on suitable ramps or stands.
Never attempt to service or maintain the machine whilst it is running; always switch off
the engine, switch off the main power and remove the remote control switch key.
