General Information

Noise

The equivalent daily personal noise exposure from this machine, measured at the

operators’ ear, is within the range 78 – 85 dB.

These figures apply to a normal distribution of use where the noise fluctuates between

zero and maximum. The figures assume that the machine is fitted to a tractor with a quiet

cab with the windows closed in a generally open environment. We recommend that the

windows are kept closed.

With the cab rear window open the equivalent daily personal noise exposure will increase

to a figure within the range 82 – 88 dB.

At equivalent daily noise exposure levels of between 85 and 90 dB, ear protection is

recommended, it should be used if any window is left open.

BEFORE USING THIS M

BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE YOU MUST:

ACHINE YOU MUST:ACHINE YOU MUST:

ACHINE YOU MUST:

▲

Ensure you read all sections of the operator handbook.

▲

Ensure the operator is, or has been, properly trained to use the machine.

▲

Ensure the operator has been issued with and reads the operator handbook.

▲

Ensure the operator understands and follows the instructions in operator handbook.

Spearhead Excel 470

▲

Ensure the tractor front, rear and side(s) are fitted with metal mesh or polycarbonate

guards of suitable size and strength to protect the operator against thrown debris or

parts.

▲

Ensure tractor guards are fitted correctly, are undamaged and kept properly

maintained.

▲

Ensure that all machine guards are in position, are undamaged, and are kept

maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

▲

Ensure flails and their fixings are of a type recommended by the manufacturer, are

securely attached and that none are missing or damaged.

▲

Ensure hydraulic pipes are carefully and correctly routed to avoid damage by chaffing,

stretching or pinching and that they are held in place with the correct fittings.

▲

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attachment and removal of the

machine from the tractor.

▲

Check that the machine fittings and couplings are in good condition.

▲

Ensure the tractor meets the minimum weight recommendations of the machine

manufacturer and that ballast is used as necessary.

▲

Always inspect the work area thoroughly before starting to note obstacles and remove

wire, bottles, cans and other debris.

▲

Use clear suitably sized warning signs to alert others to the nature of the machine

working within that area. Signs should be placed at both ends of the work site. (It is

recommended that signs used are of a size and type specified by the Department of

Transport and positioned in accordance with their and the Local Highways Authority

guidelines).

▲

Ensure the operator is protected from noise. Ear defenders should be worn and tractor

cab doors and windows must be kept closed. Machine controls should be routed

through proprietary openings in the cab to enable all windows to be shut fully.

▲

Always work at a safe speed taking account of the conditions i.e.: terrain, highway

proximity and obstacles around and above the machine.

▲

Extra special attention should be applied to Overhead Power Lines. Some of our

machines are capable of reach in excess of 8 metres (26 feet) this means

they

have

the potential to well exceed, by possibly 3 metres (9’ 9”), the lowest legal minimum

height of 5.2 metres from the ground for 11,000 and 33,000 volt power lines. It cannot

be stressed enough the dangers that surround this capability, it is therefore vital that

Spearhead Excel 470

the operator is fully aware of the maximum height and reach of the machine, and that

they

are fully conversant with all aspects regarding the safe minimum distances that apply

when working with machines in close proximity to Power Lines. (Further information on

this subject can be obtained from the Health & Safety Executive or your Local Power

Company).

▲

Always disengage the machine, kill the tractor engine, remove and pocket the key

before dismounting for any reason.

▲

Always clear up all debris left at the work area, it may cause hazard to others.

▲

Always ensure when you remove your machine from the tractor that it is left in a safe

and stable position using the stands and props provided and secured if necessary.

WHEN NOT TO USE THIS MACHINE:
