3a. Hazard Identification.
The blades rotate at high speed. Hands &
feet are well protected when the machine is
on the ground but must be kept clear when
the mower decks are off the ground.
Do not approach or attempt to work
on the machine while it is running.
Blades on rotary & flail mowers must move at
high speed to generate their cutting action.
Foreign objects that enter the cutting
chamber may turn into high speed
projectiles. Such objects are contained within
the cutting chamber when the mower is on
the ground but may escape when it is lifted.
Do not operate the mower if
bystanders are within 30 metres
(100ft).
Be aware that lifting the mower while
operating may allow projectiles to
escape.
Flails or fling-tip blades attach to blade
carriers with special bolts that allow the
blades to rotate freely. Loose or improperly
fitted bolts may allow blades to break free.
Ensure flail & blade bolts are fitted
correctly & tightened to the specified
torque.
Mowers are fitted with sharp blades which
can cut hands when being fitted or handled.
Wear heavy gloves when working on
the machine.
Sheetmetal covers are made from thin metal
that could cut hands.
Any exposed rotating machine component is
a potential wrap point. Unguarded PTO or
drive shafts are examples. Long hair or loose
clothing can be caught & wrapped around
these parts, dragging the wearer into the
machinery.
Ensure all guarding is in place.
Do not wear loose clothing or
clothes with draw strings, etc.
Tractor operated mowers are heavy. Many
can be raised or lowered on the tractor
linkage. Others have sections that can move
independently from each other. Raised
structures can drop and crush anything
underneath.
Always place suitable stands under
mower bodies, ensure transport
locks have engaged correctly &
safety devices have been fitted
before inspecting or working under a
raised mower or raised sections of a
mower.
Wear steel capped safety boots.
People particularly children, are unpredictable
and may run into the operating area
unexpectedly.
Be aware of bystanders in the area,
particularly children. Stop the mower
if people approach within 30 metres
(100ft).
Grass clippings blow about & can be trapped
in machinery. Hot tractor engines & exhausts
can ignite the clippings & extensively damage
the tractor & other property nearby.
Inspect inside tractor engine covers
& remove clippings frequently,
especially when operating in dry
conditions.
Carry a fire extinguisher on the
tractor.
Clippings trapped under the transmission
covers can ignite in hot dry conditions.
Lift mower covers & clean out
clippings regularly.
