VEHICLE / TRACTOR PREPARATION
We recommend vehicles are fitted with cabs using
‘safety glass’ windows and protective guarding when
used with our machines. Fit Operator Guard
(See drawing) using the hooks provided. Shape the
mesh to cover all vulnerable areas. The driver must be
looking through mesh and/or polycarbonate glazing
when viewing the working tool in any working position
- unless the vehicle/ cab manufacturer can demonstrate
that the penetration resistance is equivalent to, or higher than, that provided by
mesh/polycarbonate glazing. If the tractor has a roll bar only, a frame must be made to
carry both mesh and polycarbonate glazing. The operator should also use personal
protective equipment to reduce the risk of serious injury such as; eye protection (mesh
visor to EN1731 or safety glasses to EN166), hearing protection to EN352, safety
helmet to EN297, gloves and high visibility clothing.
Vehicle Ballast
It is imperative when attaching ‘third-party’ equipment to a vehicle that the
maximum possible stability of the machine and vehicle combination is achieved – this
can be accomplished by the utilisation of ‘ballast’ in order to counter-balance the
additional equipment added.
Front weights
May be required for rear mounted machines to place 15% of total outfit
weight on the front axle for stable transport on the road and to reduce ‘crabbing’ due to
the drag of the cutting unit when working on the ground.
Rear weights
May be required to maintain a reasonable amount of rear axle load on the
opposite wheel from the arms when in work; for normal off-ground work i.e. hedge
cutting this should be 20% of rear axle weight or more for adequate control, and for
ground work i.e. verge mowing with experienced operators, this can be reduced to
10%.
All factors must be addressed in order to match the type and nature of the equipment
added to the circumstances under which it will be used – in the instance of Power Arm
hedge cutters it must be remembered that the machines centre of gravity during work
will be constantly moving and will differ from that during transport mode, therefore
balance becomes critical.

Barrier Mower RI 60-80 11
Factors that affect stability
•Centre of gravity of the tractor/machine combination.
•Geometric conditions, e.g. position of the cutting head and ballast.
•Weight, track width and wheelbase of the tractor.
•Acceleration, braking, turning and the relative position of the cutting head during
these operations.
•Ground conditions, e.g. slope, grip, load capability of the soil/surface.
•Rigidity of implement mounting.
Suggestions to increase stability
•Increasing rear wheel track; a vehicle with a wider wheel track is more stable.
•Ballasting the wheel; it is preferable to use external weights but liquid can be
added to around 75% of the tyre volume – water with anti-freeze or the heavier
Calcium Chloride alternative can be used.
•Addition of weights – care should be taken in selecting the location of the
weights to ensure they are added to a position that offers the greatest
advantage.
•Front axle locking (check with tractor manufacturer).
Note
The advice above is offered as a guide for stability only and is not a guide to vehicle
strength. It is recommended that you consult your vehicle manufacturer or local dealer
to obtain specific advice on this subject, additionally advice should be sought from a
tyre specialist with regard to tyre pressures and ratings suitable for the type and nature
of the machine you intend to fit.

This machine has the potential to be extremely dangerous - in the wrong hands
it can kill or maim; it is therefore imperative that both owner and operator of the
machine reads and understands the following section to ensure they are fully
aware of the dangers that do, or may exist, and their responsibilities
surrounding the use and operation of the machine. The operator of this machine
is responsible not only for their own safety but equally for the safety of others
who may come into the close proximity of the machine, as the owner you are
responsible for both.
All operators must be fully competent in the use of this machine and also the
machine to which it is attached and must read and understand the operation
manuals for both machines before attempting to attach or operate this
equipment.
When the machine is not in use it should be lowered to rest on the ground. In the
event of any fault being detected with the machine’s operation it must be
stopped immediately and not used again until the fault has been corrected by a
qualified technician.
Potential Dangers associated with the use of this machine
•Being hit by debris thrown by rotating components.
•Being hit by machine parts ejected through damage during use.
•Being caught in other moving parts i.e.: belts, pulleys and cutting heads.
•Being hit by cutting heads or machine arms as they move.
•Becoming trapped between tractor and machine when hitching or unhitching.
•Tractor overbalancing when machine arm is extended.
•Injection of high-pressure oil from hydraulic hoses or couplings.
•Machine overbalancing when freestanding (out of use).
•Road traffic accidents due to collision or debris on the road.
Additional Safety Advice
Training
Operators need to be competent and fully capable of operating this machine in a safe
and efficient way prior to attempting to use it in any public place. We advise therefore
that the prospective operator make use of relevant training courses available such as
those run by the Agricultural Training Board, Agricultural Colleges, Dealers and
GreenTec.
Working in Public Places
When working in public places such as roadsides, consideration should be paid to
others in the vicinity. Stop the machine immediately when pedestrians, cyclists and
horse riders etc. pass. Restart only when they are at a distance that causes no risk to
their safety.

Barrier Mower RI 60-80

Warning Signs
It is advisable that any working area be covered by suitable warning signs and
statutory in public places. Signs should be highly visible and well placed in order to
give clear advanced warning of the hazard. Contact the Department of Transport or
your Local Highways Authority to obtain detailed information on this subject. The latter
should be contacted prior to working on the public highway advising them of the time
and location of the intended work asking what is required by way of signs and
procedure. – ‘Non-authorized placement of road signs may create offences under the
Highways Act’.
Suggested Warning Signs Required
‘Road works ahead’ warning sign with a supplementary ‘Grass cutting’ plate. ‘For 1
km’ or appropriate shorter distance may be added to the plate.‘Road narrows’
warning signs with supplementary ‘Single file traffic’ plate. White on blue ‘Keep left’
(*) arrow sign on rear of machine.
* Note
This applies to EU Market machines where traffic passes to the left of a machine
working in the same direction as the traffic flow. The direction, use and colour of the
arrow sign will depend on the country of use and the Local Highway Authorities
regulations in the locality.
Use of Warning Signs
•On two-way roads one set of signs is needed facing traffic in each direction.
•Work should be within 1 km of the signs.
•Work only when visibility is good and at times of low risk e.g.: NOT during
‘rush-hour’.
•Vehicles should have an amber-flashing beacon.
•Ideally, vehicles should be conspicuously coloured.
•Debris should be removed from the road and path as soon as practicable, and
at regular intervals, wearing high visibility clothing and before removing the
hazard warning signs.
•Collect all road signs promptly when the job is completed.

•Ensure the operator has read this handbook and has been trained to use the
machine.
•Ensure that the tractor meets the minimum weight recommendations of the
machine manufacturer and that ballast is used if necessary.
•Ensure all cab safety guards are in place and all tractor windows are closed.
Newer allow an inexperienced person to operate the machine without
supervision. If tractor is without cabin then mount metal mesh or polycarbonate
guards of suitable size and strength to protect the operator against thrown
debris or parts
•Wear ear defenders if operating without a quiet cab or with the cab windows
open.
•Inspect work area for wire, steel posts, large stones and other dangerous
materials. If such items are found, remove them.
•Work at a safe speed, taking into account terrain, passing vehicles and
obstacles.
•Never start or continue to work a machine if people are nearby or approaching -
Stop and wait until they are at a safe distance before continuing. WARNING:
Some cutting heads may continue to ‘freewheel’ for up to 20 seconds or more
after being stopped.
•Remove the ignition key, before leaving the cab.
•Ensure that the mower is firmly on the ground, no weight is on the tractors
hydraulics and blades / knifes have stopped spinning, before leaving the tractor
cab
•Check that all safety guards are properly fitted, check there are no damaged or
loose parts.
•Beware of the danger of overhead power cables. The operator must be aware
of the maximum height and reach of the machine when working under power
cables. The minimum legal height for 11,000 and 22,000-volt cables is 5.2
metres from the ground. When fully extended, the machine may well exceed
this height so extreme caution should be practised. For more information
contact the Health and Safety Executive or your local power company.
