Safety
Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury or death.
• Before operating this machinery, read the owner’s manual carefully.
• Use eye, ear and head
protection to protect
the operator from any
flying debris and noise
• Use a backboard made of plywood or similar material behind the tractor seat for added
driver protection. Because of the wide variety of tractors used with the Vrisimo mowers/
shredders, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to insure that a backboard is constructed
and installed on each tractor being used to run the mower/shredder. The use of this
shredder without a backboard installed on the tractor can result in serious personal inju-
ry or death from debris that might be discharged or thrown from the mower/shredder
unit.
• All personnel except tractor driver should be 100 feet clear of machinery before starting
or operating it.
• Never use drugs or alcohol
before or while operating
your mower/shredder.
• Be aware that driving a tractor for an extended period of time can result in fatigue or
boredom and may cause the operator to lose awareness of what he/she is doing. It is
recommended that scheduled work breaks be taken to avoid this.
• Keep hands and loose clothing away from any power driven parts.
• Avoid contact with hot surfaces including pumps, motors, hydraulic oil tanks and hose
connections.
• Do not operate this machine without all guards being in good condition and firmly in
place.
• Do not operate this machine on a tractor that is not properly maintained. If a tractor
control failure should occur while operating this machine, immediately shut down the
tractor and perform repairs before continuing.
