damage to the unit.
DROPPING THE UNIT

the unit, carefully inspect it for any
damage before using it again. Have
the unit professionally repaired if
damage has occurred.

away from direct sunlight, heating
pipes, furnaces, etc. Do not store

Fertilizers and other garden chemicals
contain compounds that greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do
not store the appliance on or adjacent
