• Drive forward when cutting. This best prevents the cutting rotor or implement from
throwing stones, rocks, or debris.
• Pay attention to obstacles. This includes overhead obstacles such as branches of a
tree.
Servicing
• Do not service the machine when the engine is running. If it is absolutely necessary
to run the engine while servicing, pay attention to the moving parts; keep hands,
feet, clothing and any part of your body away from any moving part, especially
cooling fan and belts at the side of the engine.
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can accumulate.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines
are in good condition and leak-free before applying hydraulic pressure to the
system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic
fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search
for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
