with safety and hygiene during the operation of tractors, machinery, tools and equipment used
for farming (Dz. U. no 12/98 poz. 51), should be observed.
The rear or front axle of the driving tractor should be adequately loaded to maintain balance. If
necessary use rear or front wheel weights.
The mower cannot be used if the vehicle has not been properly balanced.
When mounting the mower on the vehicle be aware of the risk of wounding. The operator
should wear protective gloves.
All manipulation of the hydraulic hoist control lever should be made only from the driving seat,
operating the hoist while outside the tractor is forbidden.
In tractors with electro-hydraulic control system (EHR) the hoist is operated through a button
outside the cabin of the tractor. During operation please remain extra careful.
Operating the mower with damaged covers is forbidden.
Mowing can only begin after the PTO reaches optimal speed.
The optimal speed of the PTO cannot be exceeded by more than 5%.
There should be a safe distance between the mower and people, a minimum of 50 m. Greatest
care should be maintained on rocky terrain or during branch shredding and while working in
the vicinity of roads and streets (there is a danger of hard objects being thrown by the mower).
Any servicing or adjusting of the mower must be done only after the engine and flail shaft have
stopped.
The condition of blade holders must be periodically checked (loose bolt connections and wear
in mounting brackets). Any damaged or worn holders must be replaced.
During any repair being performed while the mower is lifted on the TPH, the mower should be
secured so that it does not fall using a support or a chain.
Prior to performing any maintenance works, assembly, disassembly and break at work set the
machine onto a stable ground and protect against unintentional shifting.
During cleaning machine, it should be used personal protection.
Bolts and other fasteners should be inspected on regular basis. Operating with damaged or
worn fasteners is not admissible.
WARNING!
Any maintenance or repair of the mower should be done with the tractor
engine off, the cutting body resting on the ground and all rotating parts at
rest.
WARNING! Rotating elements, such as flail knives and flail shaft still
rotate, up to several seconds, before the rotor comes into complete
standstill!
During operation of farm machinery it is forbidden to open or remove any protective guards or
safety curtains.
The tractor used with the mower should be equipped with a driver's cabin.
The operator is not allowed to leave the vehicle while driving.
Never start the mower if it is in the up position.
