to rotate suddenly when you release the
blockage, which may cause serious injury.
• Always wear protective gloves and use a
suitable strong wooden instrument.
• Ensure that the wooden instrument fits in
the flail rotor and is long enough to provide
leverage to release the blockage.

3.
Lower the cutting units to the ground or securely
lock them in the transport positions.
4.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop.
5.
Release all stored energy devices.
6.
Check that all moving parts are stationary.
7.
Using a suitable strong wooden instrument,
remove the blockage. Ensure that the wooden
instrument is properly supported in the cutting
unit and avoid using excessive force to prevent
damage.
8.
Remove the wooden instrument from the cutting
unit before starting the engine.
9.
Repair or adjust the cutting unit if required.
