• When optional equipment is installed and used, carefully read the relative manual and strictly
follow the instructions contained in it.
• Do not use optional or special equipment without having received written approval from
McConnel.
• Assembly and use of equipment not authorised by McConnel can compromise safety and
cause damage both for the operation and for the duration of the machine.

use of unauthorised equipment, does not make McConnel liable.
3.3 - GENERAL SAFETY RULES
3.3.1 - CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The cause of much damage and many accidents can be attributed to mistakes or insufficient
maintenance, such as:
• Lack of oil, grease and anti-freeze,
• Lack of cleaning,
• Lack of hydraulic system maintenance (damaged hoses, loose fittings etc.).
• Carry out maintenance works carefully as they are also important for your own safety.
• Never put off repairs.
• Have only specialised or authorised personnel carry out repairs.
• Always observe the following safety requirements, even when you are fully familiar with all the
controls:
○ Adapt the speed to the conditions of the travel path.
○ Before beginning work, check that all the movements of the protective devices are
functioning properly.
○ Make sure that the emergency stop devices are working correctly (located on the remote
control and on the machine).
○ Continually make sure that there are no people in the machine danger area (they must
stay more than 100 m away) Shout an alert, sound your horn to warn people and stop
work if these people do not leave the danger area.
○ Do not allow anyone to climb onto the machine.
○ Do not use the machine to lift persons.
○ Never leave the machine when it is switched on.
○ If for some reason, the rotor of the equipment begins to shake, stop the equipment
immediately and try to understand the reason and / or restore correct operation. McConnel
declines all liability for injury to people or damage to property if the operator fails to comply
with these instructions.
○ Clean the machine after use. Do not use petrol or solvent-based products to clean the
machine.
○ During operation, and in particular in windy conditions, the user must carefully choose his
position in order not to be exposed to exhaust gases, dust or mown grass.
○ Do not operate the equipment if you are unable to see it (behind ridges, round corners of
buildings, in tall grass etc...).
ATTENTION
• Due to vibrations, regularly check that all screw connections are firmly
tightened.
• This check must be carried for the first time after eight hours of
operation and repeated at least weekly.
