SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vibration damping system
• Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
• Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged
and securely attached.
Muffler
• Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
• Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
• If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor
mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious
damage.
