When conducting maintenance work tie long hair behind your head. Do not
wear a necktie, necklace, scarf or loose clothing when you work near the
machine or moving parts. If these items were to get caught, severe injury
could result.

It is forbidden to carry out any work on the machine, unless the above specified
precautions have been carried out.
When conducting maintenance work always support the machine properly.
Where possible, lower the attachment or implement to the ground before you
work on the machine. If it is not possible to lower the machine or attachment
to the ground, always securely support the machine or attachment. Do not
work under a machine that is solely supported by a jack. Never support the
machine with props that may break or crumble under continuous load.
Never disable any electrical safety circuits, tamper with safety devices or carry
out any unauthorised modification to the machine.
Avoid heating near pressurised fluid lines, as pressurised lines can be
accidentally damaged when heat goes beyond the immediate flame area.
During inspection
If carrying out an inspection during machine operation within the “Danger
Zone” (
highly dangerous and NOT recommended!
), then there should be a
fully trained and competent second person operating both the tractor and
wrapper controls. If at any time the second operator loses sight of the
inspector, turn off all tractor power immediately! Such inspection should only
be carried out if all guards are fully in place, the machine is on level ground
and a safe distance is kept from any hazards on the machine.
