CAUTION! Where a machine is used in conjunction with tractors not fitted with a glazed safety
cab, a clear polycarbonate safety screen together with a mesh guard must be fitted to the tractor
between the operator and the cutting unit. A polycarbonate safety screen must be used on
cabs where windows are likely to be left open for ventilation purposes. It is essential that cab
