an incline.

• Never wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.

hat, protective glasses or goggles, and heavy gloves.

• If more than one person is servicing the machine at the

same time, be aware that rotating a driveline or other
mechanically driven component by hand (for example,
accessing a lube fitting) will cause drive components in
other areas (belts, pulleys, and cutter blades) to move.
Stay clear of driven components at all times.

• Keep the service area clean and dry. Wet or oily floors

are slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working
with electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets
and tools are properly grounded.
