HEDGE TRIMMER | User manual May 2021
WARNING!
In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park position,
set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and remove the
key. Wait until all rotating motion has stopped before dismounting.
DANGER!
Do not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees may attack you and/or
cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor with
an enclosed cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor cab is not
available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to shield you from
the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor, which can result in
serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving tractor.
DANGER!
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
100 yards (90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can
clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions,
power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items
discontinue mowing.
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this mower. REMEMBER!
This machine is often operated in heavy brush and in heavy weeds. The blades of this mower
can throw objects if shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or even
death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator, bystanders, or
passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop
mowing if anyone is within 100 yards of mower.
DANGER!
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, the
blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete
structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high
velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never
allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.
WARNING!
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as gravel, rocks, wire,
and other debris. Inspect the area before mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the
site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot
be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop mowing
immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade
carrier is balanced before resuming mowing.
