INSPECTION

Before Starting

1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.

2.Familiarize yourself with the operating and control elements of the machine and the working environment. This includes obstacles in the working area, bearing capacity of the ground and the necessary safety provisions.

3.Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty, replace air filter with a new one as required.

4.Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness. Loose threads may cause damage to the machine when vibrating.
