2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
AND TRANSPORT
Regular maintenance and correct
storage is essential for machine safety
and optimum performance.
Never use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced and never repaired.
Only use original spare parts: The use or
non-original and/or incorrectly fitted parts
will compromise the safety of the machine,
may cause accidents or personal injuries
for which the Manufacturer is under no
circumstance liable or responsible.
Maintenance
• Be careful during adjustment of the
machine, to prevent entrapment of the
fingers between moving parts of the cutting
means and fixed parts of the machine.
Storage
• To reduce the risk of fire, never
leave containers holding waster
materials inside buildings.
Handling and transport
• If the machine is transported on a
truck or trailer, use ramps with suitable
resistance, width and length.
• When transporting the machine with
a vehicle it is necessary to:
– get an adequate number of people to load
the machine with the engine switched off;
– position the machine where it does not
constitute any kind of hazard to anyone;
– secure it firmly to the means of transport
using cables or chains to stop it from
turning over and getting damaged.
2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Only use the machine at
reasonable times of day (i.e. avoid using it
very early in the morning or late in the evening
when it may cause a disturbance to others).
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste should not be
disposed of along with standard household
waste, but must be disposed of separately
and sent to special waste disposal
facilities for handling and recycling.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dump it in the environment, but take
it to a waste disposal facility in accordance
with the local regulations in force.
