Safety Precautions
JM Agri-Design does not take responsibility for damages that may occur to machine, persons or other
equipment, because of the machine NOT being used as described in this manual, or because of the
safety precautions NOT being followed.
IMPORTANT!
Always make sure nobody is in the hazard area of the Bale Handler when the machine is in-use.
The machine must not be operated by persons who do not know enough about how to safely operate
the machine, or by persons under the age of 16 years.
Dangerous Areas
JM Agri-Design has given the safety to the operator the highest priority, but it is still impossible to
secure oneself of every danger area on the machine. Therefore we have highlighted below some of
the dangers that can occur when using the JM Trunk Bale Handler.
Hydraulic Fluid
Never use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks, use a piece of paper or cardboard for this
purpose. Remember that escaping fluids under high pressure can be invisible, but can easily
penetrate the skin and cause serious and sometimes permanent injury.
Machine Operation
Always stop the tractor, lower the attachment to ground level and shut off the engine when leaving the
machine.
Never keep the tractor running whilst installing or servicing the Bale Handler.
Safety Shutdown Procedure
Work of any type on farm machinery is always more dangerous when the tractor is running.
Therefore before cleaning, lubricating, or servicing this unit, the following Safety Shutdown Procedure
should always be followed:
1. Move the Tractors drive control and the hydraulic control valve to their neutral positions and
idle the engine down.
2. Position the Bale Handler so that it is completely resting on the ground.
3. Engage the tractors parking brake.
4. Move the tractors throttle to slow idle, shut the engine off and remove the ignition key.
