2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
AND TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety
and high performance levels.
Never use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced and never repaired.
Use original replacement parts only: the
use of non-original and/or incorrectly
fitted parts will jeopardise 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 fire risks, do not leave
containers with debris inside a room.
Handling and Transportation
• If the machine must be transported
on a truck or trailer, use ramps with
suitable resistance, width and length.
• When transporting the machine
on a vehicle, always:
– load the machine pushed by an
adequate number of people
– position it so that it can not cause
a hazard for anybody
– fasten firmly to the means of transport
using ropes or chains to prevent it
from tipping over causing damage
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. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• 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• When the machine is withdrawn from service,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 dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the local regulations in force.
