3. Responsibilities.
a. YOU are responsible for the SAFE operations and maintenance of your Trimax
machine. You must ensure that you and anyone else who is going to operate, maintain or
work around the machine is familiar with the operating and maintenance procedures and
related safety information contained in this operator’s manual. This manual will take you step
by step through your working day and alert you to all recommended safety practices that
should be adhered to when operating the machine.
b. Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you but also
the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety programme. Be
certain that everyone operating this equipment is familiar with the operating and
maintenance procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be
prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring recommended safety practices.
c. Owners of mowing machinery must give operating instructions to operators or employees
before allowing them to operate Trimax machinery and at least annually thereafter or as
required by local occupational safety and health regulations.
d. The most important safety device on Trimax equipment is a safe operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the
manual and to follow these. All accidents can be avoided.
e. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment. Train
all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. A person who has
not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the
machine. An untrained operator exposes themselves and bystanders to possible serious
injury or death.
f. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorised modification may impair the function
and/or safety, could affect the life of the equipment and will compromise the warranty.
g. Use only genuine replacement parts when repairing or reconfiguring the equipment. The
genuine parts have been tested and approved on the machine in the type of conditions it will
be used in. Nonstandard parts may render the machine unsafe.
