5.1
TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
AgriMetal Self-Propelled Blowers are designed to
quickly and efficiently, blow away leaves, cuttings
and other debris. The material is conveyed on a
stream of high velocity air to remove it from the
area of concern. When the material is removed,
it gives a neat, professional look to the working
area.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment. It is
the responsibility of the owner or operator to
read this manual and to train all other opera-
tors before they start working with the ma-
chine.
