NOTE!
Before each maneuver of reversing and start of spreading the
material loaded on the load box, use of the beep signal 2 times
is recommended in the tractor in order to inform bystanders
about the threat.
3.7 Description of residual risk.
Although the "CYNKOMET" Czarna Białostocka company takes responsibility for
the design and construction in order to eliminate the danger, and has made every
effort to eliminate the risk of an accident, some elements of risk during operation of
the spreader are unavoidable. The residual risk stems from the wrong behavior of the
machine operator.
The greatest danger occurs when you do the following:
•use the spreader for purposes other than those described in the manual,
•stay between the spreader and the tractor when the engine is running,
•coupling of the spreader to the tractor,
•occupy the space between machine during reversing, turning maneuvers,
•operating the machine by unauthorized persons, under aged persons or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs,
•being on the machine during operation (without disconnecting the PTO of the
tractor),
•cleaning / maintenance of the machine during operation (without disconnecting the
PTO of the tractor),
•not keeping a safe distance from bystanders when operating the machine –when
reversing, driving, spreading materials for which the spreader has been designed,
•introduce design changes without the consent of the manufacturer,
•clean, carry out maintenance and technical checks of the machine,
•presence of people or animals in areas not visible from the operator’s position,
