Safety
Safety is of the utmost importance whilst you are operating and maintaining
your cutterbar. Make sure that all of the risks are assessed to reduce the
likelihood of an accident.
Make sure you are familiar with the controls and operation of the machine and
have read the operator’s manual.
The cutterbar has many moving parts. Guards are designed to keep you safe;
please ensure that all guards are kept in place and in good condition when
operating the machine.
When doing any maintenance work or making adjustments outside of the
machine, make sure that the engine is switched off and the battery isolator key is
removed or have the cutterbar situated on the trolley.
If you need to go underneath the cutterbar whilst it is on the machine to make
adjustments etc. make sure that the cutterbar lift cylinder lock is in place.
When operating the machine be aware of the presence of people, particularly in
farmyards, always get someone to help you when manoeuvring the cutterbar on
or off the machine.
For more in-depth safety information please consult your operator’s manual.
