Operations To Be Carried Out Before Switching On - IBEA IB 562 Manuel D'instructions

10. SAFETY AND GUARD SYSTEMS
The safety devices must never be tampered with. It is necessary to understand how they
work and safeguard their efficiency and correct operation. In the in-stance of doubt,
problems or malfunction contact your dealer.
FORWARD CONTROL AND FLAIL MOVEMENT LEVERS
When released both of these levers instantly disengage the transmission connected to
them, thus automatically engaging their respective brakes, hence the machine service
brake in the first case and flail rotor rotation in the second.
In this way they act as safety devices.
In the instance of difficulty or sudden emergency, the quick release of these levers will
return them to their standard position (raised).
FRONT GUARD
The front guard (Fig. 1, ref. E) opens or closes automatically according to the amount of
grass to be cut. Use of the machine with the guard left open is strictly prohibited. This may
cause the outward projection of objects.
The guard may only be set in the open position during flail replacement operations with
the machine switched off.

11. OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE SWITCHING ON

Position the flail mower outdoors on sufficiently firm, flat soil. Read the instructions provided
by the engine manufacturer in the relative manual and follow them carefully to prevent situations
arising which may endanger either persons or the machine.
Then check:
the state of the flails by inspecting them;
-
- that all the screws are tightened, particularly those securing the flails;
that the guards and safety devices are securely tightened.
-
- that there are no persons in the vicinity.
During operation do not allow persons near the machine, especially children. The operator
is responsible for any harm done persons in the working area of the machine.
Oil recommendations
Before switching on the engine check the oil level and top up, if necessary,
while keeping it in a horizontal position. Do not overfill.
Use of a high-grade detergent oil is recommended (Ref.er to the enclosed engine manual).
Fuel recommendations
Use of fresh, clean lead-free petrol is advised.
It is advisable to consult the engine manual before swithcing on the machine.
