FROM THE CUTTING UNIT OR TIED BLOCKED IN
A RAISED POSITION, SINCE THE BLADES COULD
THEN THROW DEBRIS A CONSIDERABLE DIS-
TANCE WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CAUSE PER-
SONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY

place the affected part(s).
NOTE: The deflector is spring loaded into its

way to facilitate loading in a trailer or when
otherwise necessary.
