Safety - General
This section of the manual offers general guidelines for the safe operation of machinery.
For the safety of others and yourself, please read and follow the precautions in this operator’s manual.
Pay particular attention to the following safety aspects of operating machinery.
Do not ride on or allow passengers on the machine.
Always use a recognised hitch pin with a safety clip to hook
trailed implements on behind the tractor.
Always ensure when using a quick hitch that the locking
tab has come out and is in the locked position before
moving.
When pulling trailed implements or loads, be sure to use a
tractor of greater or equal weight than the combined
weight of the load and trailer.

Carry a suitable fire extinguisher.
A fire can ignite under certain conditions, so please take the following precautions:
After running your machine for a short time, check for defective bearings. A
faulty bearing can become very hot, eventually discolouring, requiring
immediate replacement.
Do not allow combustible material to accumulate inside guards or around
rollers and other moving parts.
If your machine becomes blocked, stop immediately and remove the
obstruction.
Be careful when operating in hot or dry conditions or on extreme fire risk days.
Never operate your machine without the safety guards
in place.
All chains should be properly
adjusted and replaced when
necessary.
Release all hydraulic pressure from implements
before commencing service work. Never look for
suspected oil leaks with your hands or body -
use a piece of cardboard instead.
Any fluid that penetrates the skin will have to be
removed immediately by a medical expert. Seek
specialist advice on this type of injury.

Never attempt to unblock equipment while it is still
operating.
Always disengage power take-off, hydraulics and shut
down engine before removing materials, checking or
servicing.
Failure to follow these precautions is likely to result in
serious injury.
Wear proper protective clothing. Loose attire can easily be snagged
by rotating machinery resulting in serious injury or death.
Giltrap Engineering has made every effort to highlight all risks to personnel or property. Owners and
operators have a responsibility to exercise care and safe work practices at all times in the vicinity of the
machine.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that anyone who operates, adjusts, lubricates, maintains,
cleans or uses the machine in any way has had suitable instruction and is familiar with the
information in this manual (particularly with regard to safety aspects).
Operators and other users of the machine should be aware of potential hazards and operating
limitations.
Transport This Machine Safely
Ensure that all linkage pins and security clips are fitted correctly.
With trailing machines tow with the drawbar only, as this is the only safe towing point on the machine.
Always check that bystanders (especially children) are well clear (front and rear) before starting and
moving the tractor and the machine.
Plan safe routes of travel, and be aware of power lines and other roadside hazards.
Take particular care when towing implements on hillsides.
Do not ride or allow passengers on the machine. This machine is not designed to carry passengers, and
no riders are permitted.
Road transport
On public roads,
A speed of 40km/h must not be exceeded.
Do not operate during the hours of darkness unless standard lights are fitted and clearly visible.
(This also applies when visibility is limited, e.g., in foggy conditions.)
See the guidelines in the Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Rule issued by the Land & Transport Safety
Authority.

Avoid tip-overs
Run the machine along hillsides with the elevator on the high side of the hill. Avoid holes, ditches and
obstructions which may cause the machine to tip over, especially on hillsides. Never drive near the edge
of a gully or steep embankment - it might cave in. Slow down for hillsides, rough ground and sharp
turns.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Avoid any contact with fluids leaking under pressure, because the fluids can penetrate the skin surface.
Any fluid which penetrates the skin will need to be removed immediately by a medical expert. Seek
specialist advice on this type of injury.
Relieve the pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic or other lines. Make all repairs and tighten all
fittings before re-connection to pressurised fluid.
Keep your hands and body away from any pinholes or high pressure jets. Search for leaks with a piece of
cardboard instead of using your hand directly.
General Maintenance
Accidents occur most frequently during servicing and repair. The following general rules must be
followed when maintaining or working with machinery:
All operating and maintenance manuals must be read before and referred to while using or
servicing any piece of equipment.
Turn off all machinery power sources and isolate the machine before making adjustments, doing
lubrication, repairs or any other maintenance on the machine.
Ensure that the machine hydraulics are disconnected from the power source.
Wear gloves when handling components with cutting edges, such as any ground cutting
components.
Beware of hazards created by springs under tension or compression when dismantling or
maintaining the machine.
It is recommended that you clean the machine with a water blaster or similar apparatus before
commencing maintenance.
Make Sure the Machine is Well Supported
When machinery is fitted with hydraulics, do not rely on the hydraulics to support the machine. During
maintenance or while making adjustments under the machine, always lock the hydraulics and support
the machine securely. Place blocks or other stable supports under elevated parts before working on
these.
Electrical Maintenance
Disconnect the electrical supply from the tractor before doing any electrical maintenance.
Welding
With electronic equipment in modern tractors it is advisable to disconnect the machine from the tractor,
or at least disconnect the alternator and battery before attempting any welding.
Use Only Genuine Spare Parts
Unauthorised modifications or non-genuine spare parts may be hazardous and impair the safe operation
and working life of the machine.
Excess lubricants must be disposed of safely so as not to become a hazard.
