Always drive slowly especially on irregular ground to prevent loss of
balance.
On turning take sufficient care bearing in mind the load and
movement of the machine on the axle of the tractor.
Ensure that the guards of the power drive are in place and provide
for spares in case of damage.
Never transport the machine with the rotor blade in motion.
These machines may, in certain conditions, throw shredded
material and other object gathered from the ground for great
distances, which can cause serious injury or even death to anyone
in the projectile path of the machine. It will therefore be necessary
to block the shredding operation if there are people around either
moving or static within 100 meters of the machine.
When the height of the vegetation to be mown prevents the
visibility of foreign objects, the mowing should first be made at
intermediate height in order to allow for an inspection of the ground
and the removal of foreign object allowing for a further cut at the
desired height.
This pre-emptive action will, moreover, notably reduce wear and
tear on the machine.
Avoid the blades coming into contact with bulky objects.
Do not climb onto the tractor or the machine while they moving.
Avoid contract with tyres while they are in motion. Climb on or off
the tractor only when it is completely still and the ignition key is
taken out. On no account should anyone climb onto the machine
itself.
Do not use the machine if there is an oil leak present.
Do not search out a leak with bare hands. Use protective gloves and
a piece of material or cardboard. Oil under pressure can penetrate
under the skin and cause gangrene. In the event of this happening
seek urgent specialist medical attention.
Carefully read and respect the manufacturer's instructions when
using oil, solvent, detergents or other chemical substances.
