2.3.3.15 CAUTION! When working with/checking the hydraulic system on the machine always wear
safety glasses and impenetrable gloves. Use paper or cardboard to search for leaks and not
hands or any other body parts.
2.3.3.16 CAUTION! Keep hands and body away from pin holes and nozzles ejecting hydraulic fluid.
Ingested or penetrated hydraulic fluid in the body can become gangrenous. Removal must be
carried out professionally by a suitable Doctor.
2.3.3.17 CAUTION! Ensure all hydraulic hoses, lines and connections are in good condition and tight
before applying pressure.
2.3.3.18 CAUTION! Relieve hydraulic pressure before disconnecting lines or working on the system.
2.3.3.19 IMPORTANT: Before proceeding to take the machine onto the public highway ensure that all
tyres are inflated correctly. See Section 5.7.1.
2.3.3.20 IMPORTANT: Ensure that the supplied wear pads for the towing eyes are placed between the
tractor and machine. If the wear pads are beyond repair, replace before using the machine.
2.3.3.21 CAUTION! Ensure that the supplied towing eye specified with the machine is suitable for the
hitch on the tractor which is pulling it.
2.3.3.22 IMPORTANT: Ensure that the wear skids specified and supplied with the machine are fitted to
the machine. If not, replace. Prolonged use of the machine with no wear skids will cause
permanent wear to the main deck fabrications.
2.3.3.23 IMPORTANT: Check the machine to ensure all safety and instruction decals are in position as
stated in Section 2.5.2. Replace any missing or damaged decal prior to proceeding to use the
machine by sourcing from a local McConnel dealer.
2.3.3.24 IMPORTANT: To remove the probability of broken drivelines ensure that the input PTO shaft is
correctly prepared for first time use, assembled and lubricated. See Sections 3.3 and 4.5.
2.3.3.25 IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to use the type of PTO shaft supplied with the machine by
McConnel and for the same type to be sourced again when a replacement is required.
2.3.3.26 IMPORTANT: Ensure that before first use and modification of size e.t.c., the PTO shaft is the
correct item for the tractor in which the machine is intended to be attached to and is shortened
to the correct length required following the guidance in the relevant section of the operators
manual.
McConnel does not accept returns on modified/prepared or used PTO shafts, so please take
extended time to ensure the item is correct and safe for the tractor application. See Section 3.3.
2.3.3.27 IMPORTANT: Do not use PTO adaptors on input shafts. This can cause examples such as
excessive vibration, thrown objects and/or blade and driveline failures due to changes in the
machines intended use. PTO adaptors also increase the exposed working length of the PTO
shaft increasing the probability of entanglement with external objects. If the shaft is incorrect for
the tractor; request another shaft from your local McConnel dealer.
2.3.3.28 WARNING! Never connect the power takeoff unless the tractor engine is stopped.
2.3.3.29 IMPORTANT: Do not connect the machine to a tractor with a PTO directly connected to the
tractor transmission.
2.3.3.30 DANGER! At all times ensure that the PTO shaft guards are in position, securely fitted, in good
condition and that the tractor PTO shaft shield is fitted.
