2.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Safety of the operator and bystanders is one
of the main concerns in designing and developing equipment. However, every year
many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds of thought and a
more careful approach to handling equipment.
You, the operator, can avoid many accidents
by observing the following precautions in this
section. To avoid personal injury or death,
study the following precautions and insist
those working with you, or for you, follow
them.
2. In order to provide a better view, certain
photographs or illustrations in this manual
may show an assembly with a safety shield
removed. However, equipment should never
be used in this condition. Keep all shields in
place. If shield removal becomes necessary
for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
3. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign
that is not readable or is missing. Location of
such safety signs is indicated in this manual.
7. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON'T TRY IT.
8. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-
authorized modication may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function
and life of the equipment.
9. In addition to the design and conguration of
this implement, including Safety Signs and
Safety Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of the
machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and
operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the engine and machine manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs
afxed to the tow vehicle and the machine.
4. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination while using this equipment. Consult your doctor about
using this machine while taking prescription
medications.
5. Under no circumstances should young
children be allowed to work with this
equipment. Do not allow persons to use or
assemble this unit until they have read this
manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions
and of how it works. Review the safety
instructions with all users annually.
6. This equipment is dangerous to children and
persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person familiar
with machinery and trained in this equipment's
operations. If the elderly are assisting with
work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.

2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately,
our efforts to provide safe equipment can
be wiped out by a single careless act of an
operator or bystander.
2. In addition to the design and conguration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The
best safety feature is an
informed, careful operator." We ask you to be that
kind of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Using instructions in the
manual and to follow these. Accidents can be
avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can
lead to careless injuries. Read this manual
before assembly or using, to acquaint
yourself with the machine. If this machine
is used by any person other than yourself,
or is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that
the operator, prior to using:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop tow unit,
engine and machine quickly in an emergency.
Read this manual and the one provided with
your engine.
6. Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be
certain only a properly trained and physically
able person will use the machinery. A person
who has not read and understood all using
and safety instructions is not qualied to use
the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with
the work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.
4. Safety signs in Section 3 each have a part
number displayed with it. Use this part
number when ordering replacement parts.
5. Safety signs are available from your authorized Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or
the factory.
How to Install Safety Signs:
• Be sure that the installation area is clean and
dry.
• Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
• Determine exact position before you remove
the backing paper.
• Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper.
• Align the sign over the specied area and
carefully press the small portion with the exposed sticky backing in place.
• Slowly peel back the remaining paper and
carefully smooth the remaining portion of the
sign in place.

2.5 PREPARATION
2.6 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Never use the engine and machine until you
have read and completely understand this
manual, the Engine Operator's Manual and
each of the Safety Messages found on the
safety signs on the engine and machine.
2. Personal protection equipment including
hard hat, safety
glasses, safety
shoes, and
gloves are recommended during assembly,
installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, cleaning, or moving
the unit. Do not allow long hair, loose tting
clothing or jewellery to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO LOUD NOISE MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING LOSS!
Power equipment with or
without equipment attached
can often be noisy enough
to cause permanent, partial
hearing loss. We recommend that you wear
hearing protection on a full-time basis if the
noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can
cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from
tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such
sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a
lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
4. Clear working area of stones, branches or
hidden obstacles that might be hooked or
snagged, causing injury or damage.
5. Use only in daylight or good articial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety
signs are properly installed and in good condition.
1. Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor
maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
2. Follow good shop practices.
- Keep service
area clean and
dry.
- Be sure electrical
outlets and tools
are properly
grounded.
- Use adequate
light for the job at
hand.
3. Make sure there is
plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing
vehicle in a closed building. The exhaust
fumes may cause asphyxiation.

factory replacement parts must be used to
restore your equipment to original specications. The manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or damages caused by use of
unapproved parts and/or accessories.
8. A re extinguisher and rst aid kit should be
kept readily accessible while performing maintenance on this equipment.
9. Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws
and check that
