vesters, where people are not allowed staying under any circumstances during opera-
tion. The operator is strictly obliged to immediately cease operation of the machine as
soon as people enter these hazard zones.

Please always make sure that during lifting there are no persons in front of the oper-
ating machine. Due to the high speed of the defoliator and lifting units, during lifting,
stones or other objects may be flung away. These objects may be flung forward with
such great power that people hit by them may sustain deadly injuries, especially if this
concerns sharp-edged objects.
