10. DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY AND GUARD SYSTEMS
WARNING
The safety devices must never be tampered with. It is necessary to understand how they
work and safeguard their efficiency and correct operation. In the instance of doubt, prob-
lems or malfunction contact your dealer.
FORWARD CONTROL AND FLAIL MOVEMENT LEVERS
When released both of these levers instantly disengage the transmission con-
nected to them, thus automatically engaging their respective brakes, hence the
machine service brake in the first case and flail rotor rotation in the second.
In this way they act as safety devices.
In the instance of difficulty or sudden emergency, the quick release of these levers
will return them to their standard position (raised).
FRONT GUARD
The front guard (Fig. 1, ref. F) opens or closes automatically according to the
amount of grass to be cut. Use of the machine with the guard left open is strictly
prohibited. This may cause the outward projection of objects.
The guard may only be set in the open position during flail replacement operations
with the machine switched off.
11. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE SWITCHING ON
Position the flail mower outdoors on sufficiently firm, flat soil. Read the instructions
provided by the engine manufacturer in the relative manual and follow them care-
fully to prevent situations arising which may endanger either persons or the ma-
chine.
Then check:
- the state of the flails by inspecting them;
- that all the screws are tightened, particularly those securing the flails;
- that the guards and safety devices are securely tightened.
- Before switching on the flail mower make sure that there are no persons in the
vicinity.
During operation do not allow persons near the machine, especially children. The
operator is responsible for any harm done persons in the working area of the ma-
chine.
Oil recommendations
Before switching on the engine check the oil level and top up, if necessary,
while keeping it in a horizontal position. Do not overfill.
Use of a high-grade detergent oil is recommended (refer to the enclosed engine
manual).
Fuel recommendations
Use of fresh, clean lead-free petrol is advised.
WARNING. IT IS ADVISABLE TO CONSULT THE ENGINE MANUAL BEFORE
SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE.
