„Frequently check blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.

„Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous.

„Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious injury.

„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.
