Risk of injury / risk of environmental damage due to damaged and / or
sharp mowing unit blades!
There is a risk of injury and environmental and material damage (on the machine)
due to damaged and / or sharp mowing unit blades!
• Before changing the blades, the operator must put on the necessary
personal protective equipment in the form of safety shoes, cut-resistant
gloves and protective eyewear.
• When lifting / jacking up the tracked mower, sufficiently dimensioned hoists
and load carrying devices must be used. The tracked mower must be
secured against tipping over and / or falling / slipping.
• Never walk under suspended loads.
• Blades should only be changed in pairs. In any case, two blades with
different weights should never be used at the same time. Using the
machine with an unbalanced blade combination can cause vibrations,
damage and even injuries.
• Blades must be inspected for damage and cracks before being reworked.
• Blades that are cracked or damaged should not be used again and should
be immediately replaced by new ones.
• Blades should only be resharpened by expert companies.
• All screws and locking nuts should also be changed when the blades are
changed.
• When the new blades are installed, care must be taken to ensure that the
blades can move freely around the spacer sleeve. Blades that have been
fixed in place too rigidly can quickly become damaged and / or even
destroyed if they come into contact with foreign objects. Under certain
circumstances, parts of the blade could be thrown out of the mower and
injure anyone standing nearby!
