SAFETY
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Using optional products
• Consult with Takeuchi before installing
optional attachments. Depending on the
type of attachments or the combination of
them, the attachment may come into
contact with the operator’s compartment
or the other parts of the machine. Make
sure that the optional attachment installed
is not contacted with other parts before
use.
• Do not use optional products that have not
been approved by Takeuchi. Doing so
could cause safety problems. It also could
adversely affect the machine’s operation or
service life.
• Takeuchi will not be held responsible for
any injuries, accidents or damage to its
products caused by the use of a non-
approved optional product.
Product usage
Note that the high-output type brush cutter
attachment can be used only if it is equipped
with the easy brush-cleaning function and
the proper cooling system, for a short period
of time at a moderate ambient temperature.
Pay careful attention not to damage the
undercarriage when using such attachment.
These precautions also apply to any other
high-performance and/or highly functional
attachment.
Never modify the machine
Unauthorized modifications to this machine
can cause injury or death. Never make
unauthorized modifications to any part of this
machine.
If you modify or alter the configuration of the
machine in a way which results in a
restriction of the operator’s field of vision, a
new risk assessment will need to be
performed. If this becomes necessary,
contact your Takeuchi service or sales dealer.
