Danger Zone
The ‘Danger Zone’ is the area in front of the tractor, between the tractor and
the bale chopper and a minimum of 25 m behind the machine and 25 m on
either side.
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that there is no person in the
‘Danger Zone’ while operating the machine, especially during start up.
Before repair or reassembly
Safe lifting gear of sufficient capacity must be used for machine assembly. All
chains and slings used must be in good condition.
Before operation
Never operate farm machinery while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The physiological effects of drugs and alcohol impair performance and can
lead to operators taking risks or putting others at risk. This includes over-the-
counter cold/flu and allergy medications or prescription drugs that are not
recommended to be taken whilst driving a car or operating machinery.
The operator must ensure that the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching
and detaching the machine are followed. This includes the drawbar or linkage
attachment, the electric and hydraulic lines and, in particular, the lighting
system.
NOTE: ‘Danger Zone’ can vary in size
The operator must be aware of the ‘Danger Zone’ which can vary in size,
depending on operating conditions, i.e. hilly terrain.
