1.2 AUTHORISED OPERATORS
Youths under the age of 16 must not operate this attachment. The owner of the bale handler
must provide the operator with the operating instructions and make sure they have read and
understood them. Only then may the bale handler be put into operation.
The owner must ensure that only authorised persons operate/work on this bale handler. The
owner is responsible for keeping any third persons or animals out of the working area of the
machine.
THE OPERATOR MUST BE FULLY TRAINED BEFORE USING THE IMPLEMENT ESPECIALLY
WHEN MOUNTED ON A TRACTOR LOADER OR TELEHANDLER. A SAFE DISTANCE OF AT LEAST
10M MUST BE OBSERVED BY ANYONE WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE BALE GRAB.
1.3 GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS
Ensure the implement is correctly and securely attached to the operating vehicle using loader
bracket mounting points. These do not come supplied with the attachment.
Always use the correct mounting bracket and ensure that it is fitted by a trained and
competent operator who has been approved by your Albutt dealer. It is recommended to use
a bolted connection to attach the mounting bracket.
NEVER attach to a tractor which would be rendered unstable when the implement is
operated at its full capacity. Take note of the maximum load permissible on loader or linkage
arms.
Take extra care when operating machinery on sloping ground. NEVER operate on ground
where there is a risk of the tractor becoming unstable.
When the unit is stationary always ensure it is lowered to the ground.
When detaching the implement from the tractor always ensure that it is stable and safely
positioned on a level surface.
The attaching and detaching of the implement must be carried out by only one operator.
There should not be any other people in the vicinity of the implement or in the tractor.
Before operation make yourself familiar with all elements and controls of the machine as well
as their functions.
