3.9 General safety warnings
It is important to be aware of the potential hazards associated with the operation of farm
machinery. Numerous research studies have shown that the majority of machinery-
related accidents occur as the result of human negligence, including taking shortcuts
to save time, lack of or improper maintenance, ignoring warnings, failing to read the
operator's manual, lack of or improper instruction and failure to follow safety rules.
Read and understand this operator manual before using the machine. If any of the
instructions appear unclear do not hesitate to contact your McHale dealer.
Only competent persons who have read and fully understood this manual are qualified
to operate this machine. The owner of this machine is obliged, by law, to ensure that
every operator understands all of the functions, controls, working processes and safety
warnings, before operating the machine.
Safety devices
All safety devices such as guards, protection parts and safety controls must
be in place and in fully functioning condition. It is forbidden to operate this
machine with defective or incomplete safety devices.
Danger Zone
The ‘Danger Zone’ is the area around the rotating machine (approx. 5 m
radius from the rotating dispenser), and a minimum of 8 m to front and back of
the machine to allow for safe bale transfer on and off the machine.
WARNING: Do not risk personal injury
If a fire is too far advanced, do not try to extinguish it. Avoid smoke
