„Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.

„Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation.

„Do not operate power unit with attachment removed. Attachment is required for power unit stability.

MAINTENANCE

„Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo- nents in any way.
