1. INTRODUCTION
SAFETY DECALS
The safety decals shown on the previous page are positioned as shown on the
drawings at the bottom of the page. Before using the machine, check that all decals
are present: if not, require those missing. The decals have the following meaning:
1
Read the instruction manual and the safety instructions
This is to remind you to read the delivered documents to ensure the machine is operated
correctly and to avoid unnecessary accidents and machine damage.
2
Risk of getting jammed
Never let anyone stand between the machine and the tractor after the connection. Unintentional
manoeuvres and misuse may cause serious personal injury.
3 Operation without
canvas
Do not start the machine unless canvases and guards are intact and in their right place. The
machine can throw out stones and other foreign matter during operation. The purpose of the
canvases and the guards is to reduce such danger.
4 Rotating
blades
Do not under any circumstances let anyone get near or stand near the machine during
operation. The rotating blades of the machine can without difficulty cause serious injury to any
part of the body if hit by such a blade.
5
Risk of stones being thrown
Almost the same meaning as decal No. 3. Even though all canvases and guards are in the right
place, there is still a risk of stones etc. being thrown out. Therefore, nobody should be allowed
to stand near the machine during operation.
6 Children
Never let children stand near the machine during operation. Especially not small children as
they have a tendency to do unforeseen things.
7 Momentum
After the PTO drive shaft has stopped, the blades will have a momentum where they keep
rotating for up to 2 minutes. Wait until the blades have come to a complete stop before you
remove the canvas and the guards for inspection and maintenance.
8
The number and the direction of rotations
Check that the PTO drive shaft runs with the right RPM and in the right direction. A wrong
number of rotations and/or direction of rotation can eventually damage the machine with the risk
of personal injury as a result.
9
Risk of injury during the connection
Never let anybody stand between the tractor and the machine during connection to the tractor.
An unintentional manoeuvre may cause serious injury.
10
The PTO drive shaft
This decal has the purpose to remind you how dangerous the PTO drive shaft can be if it is not
correctly mounted or protected.
11
Stop the tractor engine and remove the ignition key before touching the machine
Always remember to stop the tractor engine before lubricating, adjusting, maintaining or
repairing. Also remember to remove the ignition key to ensure that nobody starts the engine
until you have finished.
12
Stones being thrown from the conditioner
The conditioner rotor runs with a high number of RPM and stones on the ground can be thrown
up to 10 m backwards at a very high speed. Therefore, always make sure that nobody is
standing near the machine when it is working.
