PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS Before commencing work with the machine the following checks should be performed: • Make a visual inspection of the machine to ensure it is in good operational condition. • Check all safety guarding is in position and in full working order. • Check rotor for missing or damaged flails and replace if required. • Check all greasing points are well lubricated. • Check gearbox oil level. • Check belt tension and adjust if required. • Check PTO speed and direction match that of the machine. 13
OPERATION Ensure that the operator is suit ably qualified to use a machi ne of this nature and that they have fully read and understood this manual - they should be aware of all safety aspects relating to the safe use of the machine. It is adv isable that all ‘first time’ operators practice using the machine in a clear safe area prior to work in order to familiarise themselves with its operation. After the initial first 2 hours of work with a new machine, nuts and bolts should be checked for tightness and the drive belts inspected and re-tensioned if required – refer to belt section for details. Prior to st arting work the area should be checked for dangerous objects s uch as large stones, wood, wire, glass etc. – hazardous objects should be re moved from the area prior to operation with the ma chine. The location of unmovabl e or natural hazar ds should be noted, or if necessary ‘marked’, to indicate to the operator that th e area should either be avoided or additional caution adopted whilst working around the hazard. STARTING WORK With the machine switched off, lower it into a position approximately 10cm above the ground, start the machine and a llow it to build up to the correct working speed before gently lowering the it onto the ground - the machine is now in its work position and forward travel can begin. FORWARD SPEED The forward working speed will depend on the working conditions and nature of the material being cut. Optimal speed will be in the region of 3-8 km/h (2-5 mph). Optimal forward working speed 3-8 km/h Raise the machine before turning or reversing REVERSING & TURNING When reversing or turning the unit the machine must always be lifted clear of the ground to avoid damage. TRANSPORT The following must be observed at all times when transporting the machine: • Machine must always be switched off. • Machine must be raised. • Speed must be kept to a minimum especially on bumpy roads or terrain. • Always abide with local laws and road regulations. • Be aware of the machines width. 14
