13 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DO NOT ttempt ny mintenne of or djustment to the mhine while it is running. Before rrying out ny work on the mhine, follow the three sfety instrutions elow: PUT THE PTO OUT OF GEAR STOP THE TRACTOR ENGINE LOWER THE MACHINE ON TO THE GROUND 2. Ensure tht the pulley nd elt gurds re properly fitted to the mhine t ll times nd tht they re in good ondition. 3. DO NOT djust utting height y ltering the top link length. Tilting the mhine will redue the effetiveness of the gurds. 4. THINK SAFETY - WORK SAFELY. d e f g h AVOID WIRE. It n e extremely dngerous if wire thes on the rotor nd every re must e tken to ensure tht this will not hppen. Inspet the working re efore ommening. Remove ll loose wire nd ostrutions nd lerly mrk those tht re fixed so tht you n void them. Any unusul noise from the owl re indites tht the rotor my hve een fouled y n ostrution. In ny suh event STOP the trtor engine INSTANTLY. On no ount lift the mhine until the rotor hs ompletely stopped. NEVER IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES run the mhine to ler itself. When the rotor hs stopped inspet it nd remove ny ostrution tht my e present. If working under rised mhine ensure tht it is sfely supported. Before working on the rotor lwys stop the trtor engine. CHECK the flils for wer nd the tthment olts for tightness every dy during work (see Mintenne Setion). A few moments heking this whenever the mhine is stopped, e.g. whenever removing ostrutions, will help redue flil wer or loss. Keep your forwrd speed to level pproprite to the opertion onditions. Wth refully while operting for pssers-y who my indvertently get in the wy of ut mteril eing thrown from the rotor. Stop the rotor until ll personnel re well ler. Keep the roller in position t ll times. Keep ll gurds in position t ll times. 4-1
