The WMU 210, 230, 265 or 305 shredders must only be operated, maintained and repaired by competent persons who are familiar with machine specifications and operation and are aware of any danger involved.
The operator must imperatively respect current legislation concerning :
- accident prevention,
- work safety,
- public traffic circulation.
All safety advice indicated on the machine must be strictly observed.
The manufacturer is not held liable for any damage resulting from machine modifications carried out by the operator himself or by a third party without previous written agreement from the manufacturer.
GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Before operating the machine, always ensure that tractor and machine are in accordance with work safety and road traffic regulations.
BASIC PRINCIPLES
1. In addition to the recommendations given in this manual, legislation on work safety and accident prevention must also be respected.
2. Advice is indicated on the machine, specifying safety recommendations in order to prevent accidents.
3. Before travelling on public roads, the operator must ensure that the machine conforms to road traffic regulations.

4. Before starting work, the operator must be familiar with all machine controls, handling devices and their functions. Once at work, it is too late to do so !
5. Do not wear loose clothing which could become caught up in moving elements.
6. Use a tractor equipped with a safety cab. Keep windows and roof hatch closed for reduced sound level while operating the PTO driven implement.
7. Before starting up the machine and beginning work, check the surrounding area (beware of children !). Make sure there is sufficient visibility. Keep all people and animals away from the danger zone of the machine (risk of projection !)
8. Carrying people or animals on the machine when working or in transport is strictly forbidden.
9. Machine must only be attached to tractor using means provided and in accordance with current safety standards.
10. When attaching or removing the machine, place the parking stand into the corresponding position.
11. Special care should be taken when attaching or removing the machine from the tractor.
12. Before attaching the machine, ensure that the front tractor axle is sufficiently ballasted. Ballast is to be placed on the supports provided in accordance with instructions of the tractor manufacturer.
13. Do not surpass the maximum axle load or the overall transport weight as prescribed by the tractor manufacturer.
14. Do not surpass the maximum transport width authorized by road traffic regulations.
15. Before transporting the machine on public roads, ensure that all legally required guards and indicators (lights, reflectors ...) are in place and in good operation.
16. All operating controls (cords, cables, rods...) must be positioned so that they cannot be set off accidently, risking accident or damage.
17. Before transporting on public roads, locate the machine into its transport position as instructed in this operators manual.
18. Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is operating.
19. Drive speed must be adapted to ground conditions as well as roads and paths. Always avoid abrupt changes of direction.
20. Precision steering, tractor adherence, road holding and efficient braking are influenced by the type of implement, weight, ballast of front axle, ground or road conditions. It is therefore of utmost importance to be cautious in every given situation.
21. Be particularly cautious when turning corners, paying attention to machine overhang, length, height and weight.
22. Before operating the machine, ensure that all safety guards are firmly in place and in good condition. If worn or damaged, replace immediately.
23. Before operating the machine, check tightness of nuts and bolts, particularly on fixing elements (blades, tines, knives, spades ...).

24. Keep clear of the machine operating area.
25. WARNING ! Danger of crushing and shearing can exist when components are operated by hydraulic or pneumatic controls.
26. Before leaving the tractor or before adjusting, maintaining or repairing the machine, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
27. Do not stand between the tractor and the machine unless the hand brake is tight and/or stops have been placed under the wheels.
28. Before any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are carried out, ensure that the machine cannot be started up accidentally.
ATTACHMENT

SPECIAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Use a tractor equipped with an enclosed cab with windows made of safety glass and kept closed. It is recommended to fit polycarbonate screens inside the tractor safety cab's side and rear windows or to install mesh guards on the exterior of them.
2. Stay a safe distance away from the shredder when rotor is rotating.
3. Each time before using the shredder, inspect condition of cutting elements. Replace any missing, worn or damaged cutting elements immediately. Use only genuine KUHN spare parts.
4. When replacing cutting elements, systematically inspect their securing elements as per the manufacturers recommendations.
5. Protection devices are intended to prevent stones, rocks or other foreign objects from being projected. They also prevent access to the machines danger zones. Therefore, it is imperative that protection devices are put in place and properly secured each time before using the machine.
6. PTO drive to the shredder must never be engaged unless the machine is in contact with the ground.
7. Even when the machine is used in accordance with it purpose, objects may be projected. It is therefore imperative that everyone be kept away from the danger zone, that extra care be taken and that extra precaution (such as safety indicators) be taken when mowing pastures alongside roads or near public areas (parks, schools etc.).
8. Never work in reverse.
9. When disengaging the PTO drive, moving parts continue to rotate for some time. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before approaching the machine.
10. If an obstruction is hit, stop the tractor immediately, disengage PTO drive, turn off engine, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop. Check the entire machine for any damage before resuming work.
11. It is strongly recommended to have your machine checked by your dealer after each season, especially cutting elements and their fixing devices.
