„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.)
