MOWER OPERATION

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is
not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300
feet
of the machine when in operation. Extreme care should be taken
when operating near loose objects – such as gravel, rocks and debris.
These conditions should be avoided.

The rotating parts in this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.

However, they could fail upon impact with heavy solid objects – such as steel guard
rails, concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be thrown at a very high velocity.
Never allow cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for such
objects prior to mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.
