Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in
personal injury or death.
A. Operational Safety
Before operating this machinery read the owner’s
manual thoroughly.
Do NOT operate this machine without proper
training. It is the Owner’s responsibility to ensure
all Operators are properly trained in the appropriate
language.
Use OSHA approved eye, ear and head protection to
protect the Operator from flying debris and noise.
Avoid wearing loose clothing as it can inadvertently
be drawn into moving parts. Never use drugs or
alcohol before or during operation of this machine.
Only operate this machine when it is in good working
order on an appropriate power unit that is in good
working order, and with all guards and safety devices
in place and functioning.
Be aware of the machine’s weight and its effect on
the stability of the power unit.
Use flashing warning lights when operating on
highways, except when prohibited by law.
Always inspect area to be worked to ensure that the
jobsite is free from obstacles and debris that could
injure the operator or damage the machine.
Operate at a safe speed (typically 0-5 mph) in
consideration of the local terrain, moving slower
when operating on or near slopes, ditches or drop-
offs.
Avoid running the machine along the ground in rocky
areas as this could create dangerous discharge.
Keep bystanders and children clear of the work area
during operation as debris can be discharged in a
dangerous manner. The minimum safe distance from
discharge is 100 ft.
Never allow children or other persons to ride on this
machine.
Be aware that this machine may be wider than the
power unit, and caution should be used to avoid
clipping or running over trees, signs or posts that may
be in the way of the machine.
Avoid operation that would allow hydraulic lines to be
pinched or severed. In the event of a hydraulic leak,
hydraulic fluid may have sufficient force to penetrate
skin. Hydraulic injection injury requires immediate
medical attention.
Be aware of the risks of equipment and grass fires.
To mitigate those risks:
•
Do not smoke or have an open flame in the work
area.
• Do not operate in areas that have been freshly
burned or are still burning.
•
Do not allow clippings/debris to collect near
hydraulic components or bearings.
•
Avoid areas with high fire risk: dry grass, brush or
trees.
