General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant
footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose jewelry.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Discharged air has considerable force and could
cause injury or loss of footing. Stay away from the
g011997
blower nozzle when the machine is operating.
•
Keep all bystanders away; shut off the machine
when bystanders enter the area, do not direct
discharge toward them.
•
Do not operate the machine when it is not
connected to a towing vehicle.
•
Do not run the traction unit engine in a confined
area without adequate ventilation. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless gas that is
fatal if inhaled.
•
Do not carry passengers on the machine and
keep bystanders and pets away from the machine
during operation.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility to avoid
holes or hidden hazards.
•
Look behind and down before backing up to be
sure of a clear path.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure your
vision.
•
Never leave a running machine unattended.
•
When transporting the machine on public roads,
follow all traffic regulations and use any additional
accessories that may be required by law, such as
lights, turn signals, slow-moving vehicle (SMV)
signs, and others as required.
•
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop the
machine immediately, shut off the traction unit
engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and inspect for damage. Repair all damage
to the machine before resuming operation.
