distance from the machine.

steel wire, etc. that could become caught in
moving machine parts and thrown out.
• Find and locate all fixed objects in the ground,
such as sprinkler systems, poles, water valves,
bases for washing lines, etc. Be certain to
check for hidden electrical cables or similar in
the surface of the lawn. Always run the machine
around these objects. Never intentionally run
the machine over foreign objects.
