Projection Of Stones And Foreign Objects; Precautions During Manoeuvres - KUHN GMD16 Operator's Manual

4.2.15 Projection of stones and foreign
objects
For driver safety, always use a tractor equipped with
a cab. Keep the ground to mow free of foreign
bodies. Avoid mowing on stony or rocky grounds. If
this is not possible, take extra safety precautions,
such as:
- Fit polycarbonate screens inside the tractor cab's
side and rear windows, or install narrow mesh
guards on their exterior.
- Increase the cutting height to avoid contact with
stones or rocks.
Never start the machine when there are people
nearby.
Even when the machine is used in accordance with
its purpose, objects may be projected. Stones and
other foreign objects projected by the moving parts
can travel a considerable distance. Keep all persons
and animals away from the danger zone.
The protection covers help reducing risks of
projections. Therefore, make sure that all mower
protection devices are in place and good condition
prior to using the machine.
- Regularly check the condition of the protection
covers. Immediatly replace any worn, damaged or
missing cover.
