when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
„ Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.
„ Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless
or improper handling may result in serious injury.
„ Your dealer can supply genuine replacement
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
„ Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque
chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are
installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe
condition before putting unit into service.
„ Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
„ Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
„ Wear gloves when installing belt. Be careful to
prevent fingers from being caught between belt
and pulley.
„ Use care when installing or removing belt from
spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when
extended and, if released suddenly, can cause per-
sonal injury.
STORAGE
„ Follow manual instructions for storage.
„ Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
