Safety (continued)

The Properly Equipped Operator

Always protect yourself from hazards such as thorny brush and flying debris by wearing gloves and close fitting clothing that covers arms and legs. Never wear shorts. Don’t wear loose clothing or items such as jewelry that could get caught in machinery or under brush. Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level.

Keep a proper footing and do not overreach—maintain your balance at all times during operation.

Wear sturdy footwear with nonslip soles to provide good footing. Steel- toed safety boots are recommended. Never operate unit bare-footed!

Always wear eye and hearing protection. Shindaiwa recommends wearing a face shield as additional face and eye protection.

Always operate with both hands firmly gripping the unit.

Keep away from rotating sweeper belts or bristles at all times, and NEVER lift a moving attachment above waist-height.

Be Aware of the Working Environment

Be careful when operating on a slope or on slippery terrain, especially during rainy weather or when pulling debris toward you.

If the drum assemblies jam, switch the engine OFF and inspect the drums, axles and gearcase for damage.

ALWAYS clear your work area of trash or hidden debris that could be thrown back at you or toward a bystander. When operating in rocky terrain or near electric wires or fences, use extreme caution to avoid contacting such items with the sweeper belts.

Do not use this unit on rooftops or elevated surfaces

When transporting the unit in a vehicle, tie it down securely to prevent damage and fuel spillage.

Never operate the PowerBroom around objects that could tangle in the drums and cause loss of control.

Never allow the engine to run at high RPM without a load. Doing so could damage the engine.

Be constantly alert for objects and debris that could be thrown either from the sweeper belts or bounced from a hard surface.

Keep bystanders at least 15 meters away from the unit while operating to reduce the risk of being struck by thrown debris.

Keep the unit as clean as possible. Keep it free of loose vegetation, mud, etc.

Maintain a low working angle and avoid steep angles of operation. A steep working angle risks loss of control of the machine.

Transport the machine with the engine OFF.

Always keep the handles clean.
