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. (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.

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.
ENSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IS FULLY PRIMED BEFORE USING

3200 Maxx RipperⓇ Operator & Safety Manual 23OP E R AT I N G I NST RU C T I ONS
The K-Line Ag 3200 Maxx Ripper is a heavy-duty deep tillage tool designed for hard pan removal and
soil fracturing.
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 in float during
operation.
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. Once the ripper has engaged the ground, put the wheel rams back into float.
NOTES:
• If you have problems with stalling during operation you can use the wheels and lift the ripper slightly.
Put the wheels back into float when you have passed the hard area.
• If you find you are using the wheels more then not during operation, you are digging too deep for the
Horsepower you have. Move the Depth Pins to a shallower hole and try again.
If you have any questions please call K-Line on (02) 6340 0400.
3200 Maxx RipperⓇ Operator & Safety Manual 24SETTING UP THE MAXXRIPPER:
1. Connect Maxx Ripper to your tractor.
2. Ensure that the jacks are removed from the roller mounts and placed onto the drawbar mounts.
Only after Drawbar pin and hyd are connected.
Figure 23 Figure 24
3. 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 after that will drop the ripper 50mm further.
NOTE: These are approximate measurements, and exact ripping depth will change depending on soil
type and other factors.
Figure 25
3200 Maxx RipperⓇ Operator & Safety Manual 25SETTING UP THE MAXXRIPPER - CONTINUED
4. The two 3x8” Rams between the drawbar and mainframe of the ripper set the angle of the main-
frame to the ground when working. Use the depth stops provided to ensure that that 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.
