Chain Guards
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high
speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety guards are
required with this cutter. Specifically, double row chain
guards should be used when cutting along roadways and in
areas where people may be present. Stop blade rotation if
bystanders are in or around the area.
Before each use of the cutter, check that all chain guards
are present, undamaged and in working order. Replace
any damaged or missing chain guard components as
needed. Order only genuine Land Pride parts from your
local Land Pride dealer.
