After Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Park the machine on a firm, level surface; shut off
the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, repairing, cleaning, or storing
the machine.
•
Only disconnect the machine from the traction unit
while on a level surface.
•
When disconnecting the machine, always chock
the wheels to prevent movement.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
Keep all parts of the machine in good working
condition and all hardware tightened.
•
Replace all worn, damaged, or missing decals.
Towing Safety
•
Before towing the machine, check with your
local county or state safety towing regulations, in
addition to meeting Department of Transportation
(DOT) Safety Towing Regulations.
•
Always shut off the engine and point the blower
nozzle up before transporting.
•
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed
for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except
at the hitch point.
•
Always inspect the hitch and coupling for wear.
Do not tow the machine with damaged or missing
hitches, couplings, or chains.
•
Check the tire air pressure on the machine. The
tires should be inflated to 241 kpa (35 psi) cold.
Also, check the tire-tread wear on the machine.
•
Always properly attach the machine safety chains
to the towing vehicle.
•
Do not tow the machine faster than 88 km/h (55
mph). Recommended off-road towing is not to
exceed 24 km/h (15 mph).
•
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause
skidding or jack knifing. Smooth, gradual starts
and stops will improve towing.
•
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
•
Chock the wheels to while parked to prevent
movement.

Hauling

•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
•
Use full-width ramps for loading machine into
trailer or truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps
should be directed down and outward from the
machine.
