Foreign Debris Hazards - Schulte SRW1400 Operator's Manual

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could
result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the area for such objects before working in
the area. Remove any such objects from the site. Never allow the implement to contact
such objects.

Foreign Debris Hazards

Before windrowing, inspect the area to make sure
there are no objects larger than 25" to windrower
or debri that can get entangled on
Remove all foreign objects and debris. If objects
are too big to remove, mark them clearly and be
sure to prevent the implement from contacting
them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris that is
larger than 25" , stop the implement and tractor at
once. Immediately idle the engine speed and
disengage the PTO. Wait for all rotating motion to
stop and move the tractor and implement off the
object. Inspect the area and mark the location of
the debris. Inspect the condition of the implement
and make any needed repairs immediately. Make
sure the teeth on drum is not damaged before
resuming operation.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and windrower with the ROPS in the
raised position. If the tractor or windrower hits a tree stump or bump, a sudden movement could throw you off
of the seat and under the tractor and windrower. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the tractor
and the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over. OPS-W-0002
