Dusty / Dry Conditions

If mowing in dry, dusty conditions, there may be some debris build-up
on the rear screen, hydraulic cooler, and/or engine compartment. Do
not allow debris etc. to build up. This debris by itself may not cause a
fire; however, when mixed with fuel, oil, or grease in a hot or confined
space, the danger of fire increases dramatically.
Do not allow the rear screen to get covered or plugged with
debris. The engine will overheat. Keep the screen clean. Be
aware of hot surfaces.
If necessary, run the machine in the opposite direction to help avoid
debris buildup.

Brush Cutting

The machine can be used to cut small sapling trees. The brush bar at
the front of the machine will push them over as is it passes.
For brush cutting:
▪
Run the machine in WORKING range speed.
▪
Do not cut brush larger than 3/4 in diameter.
▪
Once it is safe to do so, clean debris from blades and
spindles after use.
Mowers can throw objects 300 feet or more under adverse
conditions.
To avoid serious injury or death to operator of bystanders
from thrown objects:
▪
Keep bystanders 300 feet away
