HSE Information

Safe use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in agriculture and forestry –AIS Sheet 33

Introduction

This information sheet gives advice on the safe use of ATVs. It covers

the two main types used in off-road working in agriculture and

forestry, which are:

•sit-astride ATV / sit-in machines

•side-by-side mini-utility vehicles,

The Full HSE information sheet can be found here or using the QR

Code at the bottom of the article:

https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/ais33.pdf and must be read prior to

any ATV/UTV use. Below are related extracts to trailed machinery.

REMEMBER - GET PROPERLY TRAINED AND ALWAYS WEAR

HEAD PROTECTION

Training

Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

(PUWER), there is a legal requirement for employers to provide

adequate training, and to ensure that only employees who have

received appropriate training in their safe use, including the use of

any towed equipment or attachments, are permitted to ride ATVs.

The same requirements apply to the self- employed. HSE regards

training provided by recognised training providers as being

adequate for the purposes of PUWER.

Protective clothing

More than half of all ATV riders have been thrown off at some time.

As these machines are not fitted with either a cab or roll bar, your

only protection is what you wear.

●

Head protection is vital. The majority of ATV fatalities in the

UK in the last ten years have been caused by head injuries.

Nobody who died from head injuries was wearing a helmet.

Helmets would certainly have prevented most, if not all, the

deaths. Youshould always wear a helmet when riding an

ATV. All helmets should have a chinstrap and be capable of

being used with suitable eye protection. The type of helmet

chosen should be based on an assessment of the

circumstances in which the ATV will be used, eg the types of

surface travelled over and anticipated speeds. The harder the

surface and higher the speed the greater the degree of

protection needed. NB: Forestry helmets and industrial hard

hats are not acceptable for any ATVoperations.

●

Wear clothing that is strong and covers your arms and legs.

Gloves are useful for protection and to keep hands warm in

cold weather for good control of the ATV.Wear sturdy, ankle-

covering footwear, eg boots or wellingtons that are strong,

supportive and have good wet grip.

●

Protect your eyes from insects and branches with either a

visor or goggles.

Trailed equipment and loads

Ensure all riders know the manufacturers recommended towing

capacity and drawbar loading limit. Always operate within these

requirements.

Remember that your ability to control the ATV by your body

movements will be considerably reduced when carrying a load or

towing a trailer.

●

When selecting trailed equipment look for:

over-run brakes;

a swivel hitch drawbar;

bead lock rims on wheels;

a low centre of gravity and a wide wheel track;

a long drawbar; and

attachment points for securing a load.

●

Check the weight ratio between your ATV and its trailed load.

This needs to be assessed for each operation. As a general

guide, on level ground, braked trailed equipment can be a

maximum of four times the unladen weight of the ATV. For

unbraked trailed equipment the maximum should be twice

the unladen weight. These loads should be reduced when

working on slopes, uneven ground or poor surface conditions.

Follow the manufacturers advice for your particular machine.

●

Weight transfer is also important. Stability and resistance to

jack-knifing is improved if some load is transferred onto the

ATVʼs drawbar. Approximately 10% of the gross weight of the

loaded trailer is recommended, but this should not exceed the

manufacturers drawbar loading limit. Remember that weight

transfer can change dramatically when you start going up or

down hill.

●

When selecting mounted equipment, make sure it is within the

manufacturers approved weight limit, with a low centre of

gravity, and controls which are easy to operate but do not

create a hazard. Where equipment is added to one end of the

machine, add ballast at the other end to maintain stability.

●

Loads carried on racks must be well secured, e.g. with ratchet

straps, and be evenly balanced between the front and rear,

except where they are deliberately altered to aid stability

when going up or down a slope.

●

Only tow a load from the hitch point. Loads towed from other

points such as the rear rack have caused sudden rear

overturning even on slight slopes or with slight acceleration.

Ropes or chains should not be used to drag a load where they

can become caught on a wheel. This may lead to

entanglement with the brake cable, causing unexpected

braking.

DEFINITIONS

The following definitions apply throughout this manual:

WARNING - An operating procedure, technique etc., which can result in personal injury or loss of life if

not observed carefully.

CAUTION - An operating procedure, technique etc., which can result in damage to either machine or

equipment if not observed carefully.

NOTE - An operating procedure, technique etc, which is considered essential to emphasis.

LEFT & RIGHT HAND - This term is applicable to the machine when attached to the towing vehicle and is

viewed from the rear –this also applies to tractor references.

Safety Information

•Do not operate this equipment unless you have studied this manual in full

•Only use this machine for its designated task - improper use is both highly dangerous and damaging to

machine components

•Both operators & maintenance fitters should be familiar with the machine and fully aware of dangers

surrounding improper use or incorrect repairs

•Before starting, carry out a visual check on both machine & towing vehicle as regards functionality,road

safety & accident prevention rules

•Even when using the machine correctly, foreign objects such as stones may be thrown a considerable

distance. It is imperative that nobody stand within the danger area. If working near roads, buildings children

or animals provision must be made for containment of ejected material and sufficient warning signs / notices

placed around the working area

•The condition of flails and of machine guards must be checked before beginning the day’s work. Worn or

damaged flails must be replaced before you use the machine. Flails must be replaced in pairs to ensure rotor

balance is maintained.

•During checks or repairs, ensure the machine cannot be started by other persons bymistake

•Never wear loose clothing which could get caught in rotating equipment

•Never carry passengers on the towing vehicle

•Never approach the machine until the rotor has stopped rotating

•Do not stand near the machine when operating

•Damaged or missing safety decals must be replaced immediately

•Before leaving the machine unattended, remove the starting key (if applicable)

•ENSURE emergency stop switch is SECURELY attached to the towing vehicle and within reach of the operator

at all times

Page 5

Transportation Safety

•When transporting, especially over rough ground, reduce speed to prevent damage to machine.

•Ensure ignition keys are removed

•This machine is not road legal. DO NOT tow on publichighways

•Never transport the machine with the rotor running, even for small distances.

Operating Safety

•If wires, ropes or chains should become entangled in the rotor stop immediately to prevent damage or dangerous

situations; stop the rotor and the towing machine, take out the starting key or safety cut-out. Put working gloves

on; clear the rotor with the aid of pliers or shears. Do not try todisentangle.

•Pay special attention when working with the machine not to touch fixed objects such as road-drain, walls, shafts,

kerbs, guard rails, tracks etc. This could cause breakage of the flails, which could be thrown out of the machine at

very high speed.

•Do not use the machine when excessive vibration is experienced, as this may cause breakage and serious damage

- find the cause of the vibration and eliminate it before using the machine again.

Description

The FM Series of flail mowers are designed as self-powered units to be towed behind a suitable, ATV,UTV,4X4,

compact tractor or lawn tractor towing vehicles. Designed for vegetation management of paddocks, fields and

parkland, the FM series can handle material up to small saplings and brush.

The FM120 has a 1.2m cut and comes with a Honda GX630 21hp V-Twin electric start petrol engine.

The FM120PRO has a 1.2m cut and comes with a Honda GX700 23hp V-Twin, FSI, electric start petrol engine.

The FM150 has a 1.5m cut and comes with a Honda GX630 21hp V-Twin electric start petrol engine.

The FM150PRO has a 1.5m cut and comes with a Honda GX700 23hp V-Twin, FSI, electric start petrol engine.

These machines should however only be used to perform tasks for which they were designed - use of the machine

for any other function may be both dangerous to persons, and potentially damaging to components. Use of the

machine beyond the stated usage may invalidate any applicable warranty, as well as being poten- tial in breach of

applicable safety regulations.

Noise Levels

The sound of this machine, as measured at the typical operator location under normal operating conditions, is 91db. If being

towed by an open-cab vehicle, it is essential that ear defenders or a suitable helmet is worn at all times. If being towed behind

an closed-cab UTV, 4x4 or similar, then the cab should remain closed to reduce noise.

Ear defenders or other suitable protection should be worn at all times when operating

Attaching the Machine

NOTE: This machine is designed to attach to the towing vehicle through a 50mm diameter ball hitch

or pin hitch.

1. Reverse the towing vehicle up to the machine.

2. Attach the machine onto the towing vehicle’s coupling using either the auto-lock coupling or

suitable pin

hitch. Ensure the hitch is securely attached to the towing vehicle

3. Attach the emergency stop control box to the towing vehicle, in a secure location within easy

reach by the operator.

4. With the engine OFF, adjust the working height to a suitable level by turning the height adjuster

on top of the machine.

5. Level the machine to suit the drawbar & cutting height. This is achieved by twisting the link

connector fitted to the drawbar. When on level ground, the top face of the mower deck (where the

engine is mounted) should be approximately parallel to the ground.

Operation

NOTE: Ensure that the operator is suitably qualified to use a machine of this nature and that they

have fully read and understood this manual - they should be aware of all safety aspects relating to

the safe use of the machine.

Prior to starting work the area to be cut should be checked for dangerous objects such as

large stones, wood, wire, glass etc. –hazardous objects should be removed from the area

prior to operation with the machine. The location of unmovable or natural hazards such as

drain covers should be noted, or if necessary ‘marked’, to indicate to the operator that the

area should either be avoided or additional caution adopted whilst working around the

hazard.

Daily Checks

Before use each day, and with the engine switched off and keys removed, the following checks

should be undertaken;

•Flails - With the engine switched off and keys removed, the condition of the flails should be

checked. Any damaged or missing flails should be replacedimmediately.

•Engine - Fluid levels should be checked daily before use and topped-up as necessary. Ensure

the air intake and screen grid are clear of debris. Ensure engine is in good order and

maintained as per engine manufacturer schedule.

•Bearings - Ensure bearings are in good order and greased as per the maintenance schedule.

•Belts - Ensure belts are in good order, free of debris, dirt and grease and do not have signs of

damageeg. cracking, frayed edges, uneven wear.

•Fuel - Ensure fuel is clean and free of dirt / debris. If necessary, check condition of fuel filter.

•Hitch - Check condition of swivel hitch and ensure this is attached securely to towingvehicle.

•Tyres - Ensure tyres are free from damage and inflated to the correct working pressure for the

conditions at hand

Storage

For extended periods of storage, it is advisable that the machine be first cleaned thoroughly and

fully lubricated. Any servicing and maintenance should be undertaken prior to storage, and any

worn components replaced.

NOTE: Fuel should be treated with a suitable fuel stabilizer before extended storage!

DO NOT OPERATE BEYOND OPERATING LIMITS, DAMAGE TO MACHINERY OR INJURY TO

OPERATOR MAY OCCUR.

Page 10

Offsetting

If required, the drawbar on the FM Series can be offset to the left or right or folded for storage.

The machine is offset by unscrewing the T-bar as shown below. The drawbar can then be moved to

the desired location, and the T-bar replaced in a suitable hole. The T-bar must be tightened firmly

to prevent movement of the drawbar and should be checked periodically for tightness.

Semi-offset Folded for storage

Starting Work

After ensuring all daily checks have been undertaken (see above), and with the engine throttle on idle setting

start the engine by turning the ignition key. Depending on the ambient temperature and engine temperature,

choke may be required. Once the engine is running and choke off, engage drive by increasing the engine

throttle to maximum.

Forward Speed

The forward working speed will depend greatly on the working conditions and nature of the material being

cut. Optimal speed will be in the region of 3-8 km/h (2-5 mph).

Changing the drawbar angle must be undertaken with the engine switched off & the

ignition keys removed. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage to the machine.

As the FM Series use a centrifugal clutch drive system, the engine must be run at maxi-

mum speed AT ALL TIMES when cutting.

Page 11

Drive Belts & Power Transmission

The FM Series Flail Mowers utilize two drive belts (2 x BX41 / 16 X 1115), driven through a centrifugal clutch, with a

spring tensioned idler system to compensate for wear of the belts and pulleys.

The drive belts are designed as a ‘weak-link’ in the drivetrain, such that the belts will fail before damage is caused to

the engine if a foreign object is encountered or rotor entanglement occurs. Drive belts are a wearing part and as

such are not covered by the machine warranty. NOTE: Always replace belts as a pair. Replace with ‘matched set’

belts which have a consistent belt length.

Belt Replacement

New Type Tensioner (09/14 - Present)

1. With the height at the highest setting, this should allow the easiest access without removing the wheels.

Alternatively, remove the wheel on the engine side, once the machine is suitably supported with chocks or

similar.

2. Remove the belt guard by loosening the 2 17mm bolts marked ‘B’, and fully removing the bolt marked ‘A’.

3. Slacken the tensioner adjuster bolt using two 17mm spanners, shown as part ‘C’ above. The tensioner adjuster

should be slackened to such a point as the spring can be removed by hand from the tensioner arm, as shown

by the right-hand image above.

4. At this point the tensioner arm will be free to rotate, allowing full access

to the belts. The belts can then be removed by ‘winding’ over the lower

pulley. Take care when removing / replacing belts not to lever the belt

or damage in any way, as this will greatly reduce belt life. The belts

should be able to be fitted by hand, without using any forcing tools.

5. Replacement is a reversal of removal. Belts should be tensioned to 5mm

deflection at 15kgf. As a rough guide each belt should deflect

approximately 5mm under medium thumb pressure applied at the

midpoint of the belt between the two pulleys. Both belts should deflect to

the same degree.

Page 12

Maintenance

All maintenance, cleaning and repair operations must be performed with the machine suitably supported, the

engine switched off (and cool), and the ignition keys removed.

NOTE: For commercial use, log hours of operation in a maintenance booklet to ensure proper maintenance

intervals and continued service.

Flail Condition & Replacement

Over time, the flails on your machine will wear, and performance will deteriorate. It is important that the flails are

kept in good condition to ensure a long service life of your machine. Flails should be replaced when either; 3mm

has worn off the end of the flail; the flail has become blunt or damaged; flails are missing.

When replacing flails the diametrically opposite flail should be replaced at the same time in order tomaintain rotor

balance, When flails are fitted in pairs, (e.g. Y Grass Flails), both must be replaced at the same time. As flails are

fitted in a spiral pattern care must be taken to replace the correct diametrically oppositeflails.

When replacing flails visually inspect the mounting bolts and bushes, if applicable. These are all wearing part and

normally should be replaced at the same time as the flails.
