for each combination of attachment and power unit in the owner’s manual.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND
INSTRUCTIONS .
TRAINING
READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL PRIOR TO OPERATING THE
POWER UNITS AND ATTACHMENTS.
BCS power units and attachments are designed for operation by pro-
perly instructed adults only. Make certain that any person operating
this equipment has read this manual.
DO NOT LET CHILDREN OPERATE THE POWER UNIT.
KEEP THE OPERATING AREA CLEAR OF PEOPLE AND ANI-
MALS. BE CAREFUL THAT CHILDREN DO NOT COME NEAR.
During storage, and whenever the power unit is unattended, disen-
gage the PTO (power take-off) and render the engine unstartable by
disconnecting the spark plug wire from spark plug.
PREPARATION
Wear appropriately protective clothing and safety protection articles
for the climate and type of attachment you are to operate.
1. For all walk-behind applications, wear sturdy non-slip boots or sa-
fety toe shoes. See recommendations listed for use of a particular
attachment. Do not wear open-toed sandals or go barefoot when
operating these machines.
2. Wear snug-fitting protective clothing which allows freedom of mo-
vement without being loose-fitting. Ties, scarf and jewels which
could be caught in the machinery should not be worn.
3. Wear hearing protection.
4. Wear eye protection when operating a snow-thrower, power spra-
yer, chipper / shredder or mower attachment.
5.
Overexposure to sunlight can be damaging to your eyes and skin.
When working in strong sunlight, protect your eyes with sun glas-
ses and either keep your body covered or apply a sun screen
lotion.
Do not operate on terrain where you cannot maintain good footing or
where the machine could overturn or slide into you. When walking
behind the unit, walk slowly. DO NOT RUN!
