2740T TRASHCUTTER OPERATOR & SAFETY MANUAL
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 SCORE CHART - Pg 8)
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.

should meet or exceed weight
requirements.
• Correct pressure is 90PSI/620KPA
(Centre) 75PSI/517KPA (Wing).
• Before mounting wheel to machine,
check all hub and rim contact surfaces
are undamaged and free of paint, dirt
and grease.

2740T TRASHCUTTER OPERATOR & SAFETY MANUAL
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.
PRIMING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
ENSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IS FULLY PRIMED BEFORE USING
• Fully extend and retract hydraulic cylinders.
• Repeat 3-4 times and hold lever extended each way
for 10 to 15 seconds to release air from the system.
If problem exists hold hydraulic lever under pressure,
until air is fully released from system.

STEP 1: PREPARE FOR SHUTDOWN.
• Immediately return hydraulic lever to neutral
position.
• Stop operating machine.
STEP 2: SHUTDOWN THE EQUIPMENT.
• Use hydraulic lever to lower machine to ground
(if in raised position).
STEP 3: ISOLATE THE EQUIPMENT.
• Freely operate remote levers to release residual
pressure from system.
• If tractor is equipped place levers in float
position.
• Shut down tractor.
IN THE EVENT OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FAILURE OR HYDRAULIC HOSE
RUPTURE, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE STEPS SET OUT BELOW.
Escaping Hydraulic fluid is dangerous and can cause serious injury or death.
STEP 4: APPLY THE LOCKOUT /
TAG-OUT DEVICE.
• Disconnect all hydraulic hoses from tractor
remotes.
• Place Lockout or Out of Service Tags on all
hoses.
STEP 5: CONTROL THE STORED ENERGY.
• Ensure no hydraulic pressure remains in
system, slowly release bleed tap (if equipped),
or slightly loosen one hydraulic connection on
each circuit to allow any remaining fluid under
pressure to be released.
STEP 6: VERIFY ISOLATION OF
EQUIPMENT.
• Double check the steps and verify that the
equipment has been shut down and has the
Lock and Tag Labels evident to prohibit
operation. Have repairs carried out and
defective parts replaced. Do not re-connect to
tractor or other hydraulic power source, until
system has been fully tested.
