people or pets enter the discharge area.
• Always observe the surface conditions in order to avoid
slipping, falling, and unexpected objects.
Preparation

used. Remove all objects (i.e. stones, sticks, wires, and other
foreign materials) that could be thrown by the tines or cause
the operator to trip.
• Thrown objects can cause serious injury to the eyes and
exposed body. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
during operation and while making an adjustment or repair.

garments. Do not wear jewelry or other loose clothing, which
could become entangled in moving parts. Wear

parts and safety labels. See maintenance section for detailed
instructions.
