3.1.5 SLOPES
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WORKING ON SLOPES
•
Local undulations and sinkage will change the general slope. Avoid ground conditions which can cause the
machine to slide.
•
Keep machine speeds low on slopes and during tight turns.
•
Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope.
•
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care.
3.1.6 BLOCKED CUTTING UNITS
•
Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts are stationary.
•
Apply brakes and disengage all drives.
•
Release blockages with care. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting edge. Beware of energy in
the drive which can cause rotation when the blockage is released.
•
Keep other people away from the cutting units as rotation of one can cause the others to rotate.
3.1.7 ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATION, MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
•
Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts are stationary.
•
Apply brakes and disengage all drives.
•
Read all the appropriate servicing instructions.
•
Use only the replacement parts supplied by the original manufacturer.
•
When adjusting the cutter blades take care not to get hands and feet trapped when rotating blades.
•
Make sure that other people are not touching any cutting unit, as rotation of one blade can cause the
others to rotate.
•
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
•
When working underneath lifted parts or machines, make sure adequate support Is provided.
•
Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or restraining forces which can cause parts to move
suddenly.
