Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to cause injury. Keep all hoses and connections in

good serviceable condition. Failure to heed may result in serious personal injury or death. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving the pressure before disconnecting lines or performing work on the system. Make sure hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. DO NOT DELAY! If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.

Depth Control

Insert pin in hole according to depth requirement

Rear roller controls depth,  To work deeper adjust roller upwards .  To work shallower adjust roller downwards.  For initial depth setting start shallow.  Operate machine for short distance and stop.  Adjust depth control in small increments to achieve required depth.  Ensure both wing modules operate at same depth. (folding wing models)

Fore and Aft, Tilt & tracking in line

Figure 15

IMPORTANT Fore and Aft or tilt level affects how machine tracks, straight tracking in line gives superior ground disturbance, better trash flow and more even disc wear. In general, start with front row of discs working ¾” (20mm) higher than back row of discs.

To adjust Fore and Aft Tilt (Trailing mode) See Page 16 to adjust for correct tracking in line

Fore and Aft tilt adjuster

After initial setting run machine at normal operating speed and stop. Stand behind machine to check if machine is tracking correctly. If adjustment is needed see figure 16

Front Disc Gang Lateral Positioning

*NB - Be sure machine is tracking in line before attempting to make this adjustment page 19- 20.

The Disc positioning system is used for maximum soil disturbance and reduced ridging. Adjustment can be made for more precise weed control, soil disturbance and to compensate for disc wear.  Start with factory settings  Test run at normal operating speed and stop quickly.  Check for ridges of undug soil. (follow ridge into machine)  For ridges where front and rear discs throw away from each other see figure 19 at point (A), front gang should be adjusted to the right. Figure 20 shows correct adjustment to remove ridge.  For ridges where front and rear discs throw towards each other see figure 19 at point (B), front gang should be adjusted to the left.  Only adjust in small increments ½” or 12mm  Re-check in hard soils as jump arms tend to flex more.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is the process of finding out what may cause an injury, deciding what may happen as a result, and doing something about it.

The steps of risk management are:  Identify the hazards to workplace health and safety arising from work activities  Assess the risks

 Determine and implement control measures to reduce risk  Monitor and review the effectiveness of the control measures

IDENTIFYING HAZARDS

Prior to commencing work, all hazards related to the work tasks should be identified. The selection of the appropriate work procedure(s) will depend on the type of work procedure(s) and hazards involved. Regular safety inspections will also identify hazards and ensure that control measures are in place.

RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk assessment allows appropriate control measures to be developed. Once hazards have been identified, they should be assessed in terms of their potential to do harm. To assess risk, consideration should be given to probability and consequences. SEE RISK ASSESSMENT MODEL. RISK CONTROL Risk control is the process of eliminating or reducing risk factors. Control measures should be chosen and implemented to eliminate or reduce risk as far as practicable. When deciding on the most appropriate measures to use, practicality and acceptance of the control measures should be considered. Safe Working Procedures will be developed for all high – medium risk hazards.

MONITOR AND REVIEW CONTROL MEASURES

The risk identification, assessment and control process requires regular monitoring to ensure the implemented control measures perform as originally intended and continue to prevent or adequately control the risk of injury or incident. Control measures should also be checked carefully to ensure that new hazards are not created, directly or indirectly, by the original control measures.
