 The operator must ensure that all covers are closed and all safety devices are
in operating mode.

During operation
 While operating this machine on hilly, rough or sloping ground the operator
must take extra precautions. The ‘Danger Zone’ is increased in such
conditions. Precaution must be taken due to the risk of overturning. Always
travel at a speed suitable for the ground conditions.
 The operator must ensure that there is a minimum of 4 m clearance between
the machine and any obstacle above, in particular electrical high voltage lines.
 Particular care must be taken, if the machine is left idle for any extended
period, to ensure that all sensors and safety features are working correctly.
Before travelling on public roads
 The owner of this machine is obliged by law to ensure that every operator has
a valid driving licence and is familiar with the road traffic regulations relating to
the country of use.
 Always ensure that the electronic control box and hydraulic supply are
switched off.
 Always ensure that the chute and slide extension are fully retracted.
 Ensure that the rear loading door is closed fully and the tail lights are swung
out into their full visible position.
Performing maintenance
 Maintenance and repair work on the machine should always be carried out in
accordance with this manual.
 Maintenance and repair work exceeding the content of this manual should
only be carried out by qualified persons or your McHale dealer.
 When conducting maintenance work tie long hair behind your head. Do not
wear a necktie, necklace, scarf or loose clothing when you work near the
machine or moving parts. Rotating machinery parts can entangle loose
clothing, long hair or dangling jewellery faster than a victim can react. If these
items were to get caught, severe injury could result.
WARNING: Do not carry people or animals on the machine
The operator must ensure that no persons or animals are carried on the
machine at any time or are hidden under the machine (on the tractor
persons are only allowed to sit on the relevant seats).
