SAFETY RULES

Remember, any power equipment can cause injury if operated improperly or if the user does not understand how to operate the equipment. Exercise caution at all times when using power equipment.

1. Read the vehicle and sweeper owners manuals and know how to operate your vehicle and sweeper before using this sweeper attachment. Always instruct other users before they operate the sweeper.

2. Do not permit children to operate sweeper.

3. Do not permit anyone to ride on sweeper.

4. Never attach the hopper rope to any part of your body or clothing! Never hold onto the rope while towing the sweeper! Attach the rope to the towing vehicle to keep it away from wheels and rotating parts.

5. Operate the sweeper at reduced speed on rough terrain, near ditches and on hillsides to prevent loss of control.

6. Vehicle braking and stability may be affected with

the attachment of this sweeper. Do not ll sweeper to

maximum capacity without checking the capability of the towing vehicle to safely pull and stop with the sweeper attached. Stay off of steep slopes.

7. Stop and inspect vehicle and sweeper for damage after striking an object. Repair any damage before continuing operation.

8. Keep sweeper away from re. Excessive heat can

damage the brushes and hopper bag and could cause the bag and its contents to burn.

9. Before storing the sweeper, always empty the hopper bag to avoid spontaneous combustion.

10. Follow maintenance and lubrication instructions as outlined in the maintenance section of this manual.

Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means — Attention!! Become alert!! Your safety is involved.
