TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
AgriMetal Leaf and Debris Collectors are designed
to efficiently pick up material from the ground and
collect it in the machine compartment. A variety of
material can be gathered and transported to the
unloading area. Grass clippings, leaves and oth-
ers debris can easily be picked up.
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.
