DO NOT
use extremities to dislodge debris from the cutting shaft
or knives.
•
Operate only from the operator’s station.
•
Hydraulic fluid is hot and will heat any exposed steel, hoses, motor, or
spindle in its proximity.
•
Route hoses correctly to ensure a full range of motion.
•
Make certain hoses are out of the way of tires, tracks or the ground.
•
Be certain the cutting shaft has come to a complete stop before exiting
the cab.
When transporting Diamond’s Flail
Mower between operations, make
sure to protect it from collisions and
accidental damages by placing it in the
stowed position.
Failure to place the head in its stowed
position could result in
structural damage.
STOWED POSITION
Contact with the cutting shaft and knives while in motion will cause
serious injury or death. The cutting shaft spins at a very high speed
and can take several minutes to stop. Be sure all personnel are clear
of the machine before engaging the Flail Mower.
