Safety Information SAFETY INFORMATION RISK MANAGEMENT

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. 3.SAFETY INFORMATION - Risk Assessment Matrtix. 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.

HYDRAULIC OPERATION & SAFETY

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FAILURE

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 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. 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 the system. Slowly release bleed tap (if equipped), or slightly loosen one hydraulic connection on each circuit to allow any re- maining fluid under pressure to be released. STEP 6: VERIFY ISOLATION OF EQUIP- MENT. • 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, un- til system has been fully tested.

Safety Information

HYDRAULIC OPERATION

WARNING 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 condi- tion 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.

HYDRAULIC HOSE HOOK UP • For ease of hook up, hose grip handles are color coded. • The same color is used for each hydraulic circuit. • To distinguish between EXTEND and RETRACT, hose grips are marked accordingly. • Clean hydraulic hose breakaway ends before connecting to tractor.

• Hose grip circuits are color coded and marked accordingly for In & Out. • After disconnecting tractor, ensure hydraulic hoses are safely stored in the hose holder.

ENSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IS FULLY PRIMED BEFORE USE

PRIMING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM • 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.

MAXX RIPPER START UP TIPS

THIS IS A GUIDE ONLY AND MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

The K-Line Ag 3200 Maxx Ripper is a heavy-duty deep tillage tool designed for hard pan removal and soil fracturing. 1. ROLLER DEPTH • The key operating principle of the Maxx Ripper is that the roller controls the depth of the digging, and the front wheels are to remain just off the ground in operation. 2. SPEED RANGE • The maximum speed that may be achieved whilst working will be heavily dependent on soil conditions and tractor horsepower, However; • It is not recommended to operate at speeds in excess of 6km/hr (4mph) even if they can be achieved. This is because the subsoil hard-pan depth may vary within a field, or there may be other objects under the ground (such as large rocks) that may cause stalling. Damage may occur to implement or tractor if stalling from too great of a speed. 3. HEADLANDS/TURNING • When turning on headlands lift the Maxx Ripper out of the ground with the wheels, and retract the wheels when re-commencing ripping on the following row. 4. ROAD TRAVEL SPEED LIMIT • 32kmh (20mph). NOTES: IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH STALLING DURING OPERATION, YOU CAN USE THE WHEEL AND LIFT THE RIPPER SLIGHTLY. IF YOU FIND USING THE WHEELS MORE THAN NOT DURING OPERATION, YOU ARE DIGGING TO DEEP FOR THE HORSEPOWER YOU HAVE. MOVE THE DEPTH PINS TO A SHALLOWER HOLE AND TRY AGAIN.

MACHINE SETTINGS

Your Maxx Ripper is a heavy-duty deep tillage tool designed for hard pan removal and soil fracturing. MACHINE SETTINGS • Connect Maxx Ripper to your tractor. • Ensure that the jacks are removed from the roller mounts and placed onto the drawbar mounts. Only after drawbar pin and hydraulics are connected. WARNING: MACHINE AS DRAWBAR UPDRAFT

Figure : 4.3 Drawbar Jack Horizontal

Figure : 4.2 Drawbar Jack Vertical

WARNING NEVER REVERSE MACHINE WITH ROLLERS ON GROUND. NOTE: When setting up machine, always start shallow, then adjust down to required depth setting. • Locate the Pins above the roller bow to set the depth of the ripper. The bottom hole will rip at approximately 100mm and each hole that will drop the ripper 50mm further. NOTE: These are the approximate measurements, and exact ripping depth will change depending on soil type and other factors.

4. The two 3x8” Rams between the drawbar and mainframe of the ripper set the angle of the mainframe to the ground when working. Use the depth stops provided to ensure that the mainframe is parallel to the ground when the ripper is digging. Once set for your depth you will not need to change this. a. These rams must run hard on the stops, so the stops are taking the weight. b. You may need to pull the ripper completely into the ground do determine how many depth- stops you need to correctly level the Ripper. c. For 300mm dig, try one silver and one red stop & adjust accordingly. SETTING UP THE MAXX RIPPER
