This paragraph indicates some of the improper or unauthorised uses; as it is
impossible to foresee all possible improper uses, if there are particular occasions of
use of the machine not contemplated among those permitted, consult McConnel before
carrying out the work.
The following uses must always be strictly avoided:
• Use of the machine by minors, inexperienced, untrained, or unlicensed persons;
• Using the machine to lift people or objects;
• Using the flail mower head as a piledriver;
• Using the machine to tow damaged vehicles;
• It must not be used on surfaces contaminated by glass, loose stones, pieces of iron or other extraneous
bodies that could be kicked up by the blades of the tool;
• Lifting or pulling tilted loads;
• Placing accessories or equipment classified as dangerous due to their chemical or physical properties
(e.g. flammable, toxic, explosive materials etc.) on the machine;
• Overloading the machine beyond its permitted limits;
• Increasing the working length with booms without the authorisation of McConnel;
• Using the machine with equipment not authorised by McConnel;
• Making changes to the machine (hydraulic, electrical, or mechanical);
• The machine must not be used on public roads.
If the machine is used in the ways specified above, there will be the risk of overturning
or structural breakage of the same, with the consequent risk of injury or death of the
operator.
Range of action means an area that should be free of people, as it could be hazardous. To this end,
also consider what is indicated in the manuals of the individual pieces of equipment and the different
operating modes used.
