fatal injury. It is extremely important that you read and
understand the contents of this operator's manual.

equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen.
Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.

protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the engine stops.
