Beware of overhead obstructions (low limbs, etc.),
underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots,
etc.). Cautiously enter a new area. Be alert for hidden
hazards.

inspected for damage after striking a foreign object,
and damage should be repaired before restarting and
operating the machine.

engine is running or immediately after stopping.  These
areas may be hot enough to cause a burn.

16. DO NOT run engine inside a building or confined area

without proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes are

hydraulic fluid under high pressure.  Use only cardboard
or paper to search for leaks.

7. Hydraulic fluid under high pressure may have sufficient

force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury.  If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor or
gangrene may result.
