Before leaving the shredder unattended, it is necessary to stop the tractor and to
disconnect the transmission shaft.
It is compulsory to use the machine with all its safety devices correctly mounted to it.
Roll the discharging conveyor belt completely open and turn it on before starting
introducing the material.
Never modify the machine.
Do not use the machine for purposes, which are different than the ones it was
designed for
Safety measures during the shredding session
When using the bio-shredder, the operator must wear the individual safety devices; he
must stay close to the hopper into which he inserts the material he wishes to grind up.
He has also to make sure that nobody is around within radium of 20 meters.
Please do not insert branches having bigger sizes than the foreseen ones (18 cm as
stated in the picture graph on the hopper).
Please do not insert any stones, metals, glass, plastic, earth, and newspaper bundles
and so on in the bio-shredder but only vegetable materials.
Do not remove any protection housing when the machine is working.
The operator shall keep off the discharging conveyor belt when the machine is
working.
Do not get close with any parts of your body to the protection housings.
When the machine is working, do not let any parts of your body get close to the
transmission-gear. The PTO of the tractor has to revolute at an approximate speed of
540 revolutions/minute. Please do not let it revolute faster than that.
Safety measures when maintaining
For the maintenance of the machine, please follow the procedures mentioned in
MAINTENANCE.
Use original spare parts only.
When replacing the hammers and when carrying out the cleaning processes, please
watch out not to cut yourself. "Cutting-heads are very dangerous!"
Start carrying out the maintenance only after you have worn protective gloves and
stopped the tractor; wait until the rotor has come to a complete stop.
Safety during transport and storage
Please make sure that all parts of the shredder are well fastened to the trailer not to
lose anything during transport.
The machine must be transported with great care and the engine must be off.
Please use the appropriate hooks to lift the machine.
