Use and maintenance manual
SAFETY - 13
delegate someone else, which has not its own requirements, to replace him in his duties. Since the instructions in this manual cannot cover all the possible
situations of danger, each operator must always use caution and common sense. Everyone, therefore, becomes liable for damages caused to others, to himself, to
animals or things if:
- the machinery is used incorrectly or in improper ways;
- the machinery is used while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or in a state of tiredness or sickness;
- clothing that can be caught in moving or rotating parts is worn;
- appears to not be aware of the instructions in the manual;
- not having previously verified the requirements, the coupling to the tractor is not suitable (power or characteristics differ from those listed in the technical data
table);
- did not carry out the necessary maintenance operations, which although simple, if not carried out properly can result in equipment damage and pose a safety
hazard to people exposed;
- has modified to machinery or has run unauthorized interventions on it;
- has used non-original or non-specific spare parts for the rake.
B6 Pictogrames
In addition to the indications contained in this manual, adhesive labels or pictograms that illustrate the safety regulations to be respected are applied in the front of
the machinery to help operators. The labels, according to the regulation, vary in shape and colour.
Therefore, those who work should know that the circular signals indicate an obligation (light blue and white) or a ban (red, white and black), while the triangular
shape indicates a hazard (yellow and black). Other rectangular labels, apart from containing the danger or prohibition signals, provide additional information on
safety standards to be met.
The rules set out by the labels, placed on hay rake are:
1. Hooking or entanglement risk. With the arms rotation, the teeth may hang clothes or other objects worn by staff;
2. Danger of flying objects. With the arms rotation the teeth could pick up and throw objects form the working site. Minimum safety distance m.10;
3. Obligation of reading the use and maintenance manual;
4. No stopping or transit. It is prohibited to others than authorized personnel to stop or transit in the hay rake proximity, when it is running. Remain at a safe
distance (m. 10). When the machinery is in transport configuration, pay close attention to the teeth. Being tall and bulging they could become a danger to
anyone transiting in the machinery proximity;
