Safety instructions for using the Fence mower
Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly
powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property
damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's
manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you
have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.
DANGER
Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition may
cause risk of serious injuries.
Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader,
correct coupling procedure, and the correct way to operate the attachment at a safe
area. Study especially how to stop the equipment in a safe manner. Read all safety
precautions carefully.
Read all safety instructions carefully before handling the attachment
WARNING
When attaching an attachment to the loader,
ensure that the locking pins of the
loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked
the attachment to the loader.
Never lift or move an unlocked attachment.
This attachment is designed to be used by one operator at a time. Do not let others
near the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.
Always transport the attachment as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity low,
and keep the telescopic boom retracted during driving.
Impact hazard - Thrown objects.
Do not let bystanders stand closer than the safety
distance of 2 metres from the machine.
The Fence mower can throw e.g. small
stones even distances up to 30 metres.
Stop the attachment if others get within
the safety distance.
Hazard of entanglement - Rotating parts. Never leave the driver’s seat when the
attachment is running or if the auxiliary hydraulics control is locked on.
Always
keep a safe distance between persons and machinery that may start or move. Stop
the equipment following the safe stopping procedure and lower the attachment firmly
on the ground before leaving the driver’s seat, or when other persons are present at
the working area.
Risk of crushing under the attachment or the loader boom - Lower the
attachment firmly on the ground before leaving the driver’s seat.
Make sure that
the attachment is properly supported during any maintenance or inspections. Do not
leave the driver’s seat when the loader boom is lifted. Going under a raised
attachment or loader boom is dangerous, as the boom may lower due to loss of
stability, mechanical fault, or if another person operates the controls of the loader.
Keep hands and feet away from moving components. Wearing loose clothes, such as
loose shoelaces, or long scarves, should be avoided when working with the
attachment.
Survey the operating area before starting the mower. Observe and mark, as
necessary, any obstructions at the area, such as rocks, posts, or stay wires.
Stop the attachment by following the safe stopping procedure before going near the
attachment or the loader boom.
Always transport the attachment as low and close to the machine as possible to keep
the centre of gravity low. On slippery surfaces drive slowly and deliberately. Operate
the controls of the loader slowly and calmly especially on inclined terrain.
