General safety
NOTE!!!
Make sure that all persons that work with the SAMON Haulm Topper and/or that perform maintenance on
it read this manual carefully and take the required precautions for their own safety and others in the area
while operating the SAMON Haulm Topper.
Always keep the following points in mind when working with or on the SAMON Haulm Topper.
•
The SAMON Haulm Topper must only be operated, maintained and repaired by persons who are
familiar with the machine and the safety procedures.
•
When performing inspections and maintenance on the SAMON Haulm Topper always switch the
tractor engine off and remove the key from the ignition.
•
The SAMON Haulm Topper is fitted with a ball valve on the hydraulic hose. This valve must be closed
when the Haulm Topper is folded away in order to prevent the Haulm Topper from folding out.
•
The SAMON Haulm Topper comes with highly dangerous blades that rotate at approximately 2000
RPM.
•
Bear in mind that the blades will keep turning for a while after the SAMON Haulm Topper is switched
off.
•
Always wait until the blades have come to a complete halt before approaching or folding the machine.
•
Before starting the machine, always clear the work area of potential flying objects such as twigs,
stones or other objects; loose objects can project out of the SAMON Haulm Topper and cause serious
damage and injury to the Haulm Topper and to you or others, animals and property.
•
Keep away from the SAMON Haulm Topper while it is in operation.
•
Always use a tractor with cab.
•
When an object is hit, switch off the SAMON Haulm Topper and check for damage before switching it
back on.
•
The SAMON Haulm Topper contains a number of parts that are fitted with locking pins and safety
cords and/or chains. They must always be in position.
•
Damaged and broken safety devices and locking agents must be replaced immediately.
•
Protective covers, sleeves and rubber flaps must always be undamaged. Always replace when dents or
cracks appear.
•
Always use original SAMON parts as they are specifically designed for the Haulm Topper.
3.2
Environment
For ecological reasons, cleaning and maintenance of the SAMON Haulm Topper must take place on a hard,
liquid-proof floor.

Dispose of used lubricants in an environmentally friendly manner. We recommend delivering spent oil in a
closed tank at a recycling centre or a collection point. Never dispose of spent oil in a dustbin, ditch, sewer,
drain or on the soil.
