SAFETY WARNINGS FOR NOISE AND VIBRATIONS
The level of noise and vibrations reported are average values for the
use of the machine. The use on various types of turf, the variation in
the number of engine revolutions, moving faster or slower, the lack of
a cutting edge on the blade, and the lack of maintenance significantly
affect noise level and vibrations. Therefore, adopt all the preventive
measures necessary to eliminate any possible damage due to loud
noises and strain from vibrations; wear safety earmuffs, anti-vibration
safety gloves, take breaks while working and ensure that the machine
and the blade are kept efficient at all times.
