•
Brush cutting, mowing, or other operations that can cause flying
debris, can be a fire hazard in the carrier. With the engine off and
cool, regularly inspect and clean the engine compartment and other
areas where there may be hot or rotating parts. This should be
performed as often as needed to prevent the combustion of this
debris. Failure to do so could result in a fire, causing severe
machine damage, injury or death.
•
DO NOT operate DAVCO
®
Brush Cutters within 200 yards of
living things or items susceptible to damage from flying debris or
falling trees.
•
DO NOT operate without safety approved shielding (door).
Proper Personal Protective Equipment (i.e. Safety glasses, hard
hat, dust mask, etc.) is highly recommended. Failure to do so
could result in damage, injury or death.
•
When the disc is rotating, DO NOT tilt the DAVCO
®
Brush
Cutter so the knives are in line with the operator.
•
Before servicing or leaving the cab: be sure the hydraulics are
disengaged, the engine is shut off, and the discs have come to a
complete stop. (Note: to prevent run-on, try to stall the disc into
the ground or brush and disengage the hydraulics.)
•
To remove debris from the brush cutter, the brush cutter must
remain flat on the ground. Any other method may result in
damage, injury or death.
•
DO NOT straighten bent cutting knives. Straightening bent
knives may cause cracking
.
Bent knives should be replaced with
new DAVCO
®
replacement knives.
