Projection of stones and foreign objects
For driver safety, always use a tractor equipped with a
cab. Keep the ground to mow free of foreign bodies.
Avoid mowing on stony or rocky grounds. If this is not
possible, take extra safety precautions, such as:
- Fit polycarbonate screens inside the tractor cab's side
and rear windows, or install narrow mesh guards on
their exterior.
- Increase the cutting height to avoid contact with
stones or rocks.
Never start the machine when there are people nearby.
Even when the machine is used properly, objects may be
thrown. Stones and other foreign objects thrown by the
moving parts can travel a considerable distance. Keep
all persons and animals away from the danger zone.
The protection covers help reducing risks of projections.
Therefore, make sure that all mower protection devices
are in place and good condition prior to using the
machine.
Regularly check the condition of the protection covers.
Immediatly replace any worn, damaged or missing
cover.
