BEFORE OPERATION

CHECK YOUR WORK AREA

For your safety and the safety of others, always inspect the area before
operating the snowblower.
Objects
Anything which can be picked up by the augers and thrown is a
potential hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks,
bones, nails, and wire, and remove them from the work area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the work area can move into your
snowblowers path or into a position where they could be struck by
thrown objects. Clear the area of people, especially children and pets.
Their safety is your responsibility.
Work Area
Check the condition of the snow. Adjust your snowblower ground
speed (not engine speed) and snowblowing swath accordingly.
Check the skid shoes for proper adjustment. Adjust the skid shoes to
obtain the auger ground clearance for the type of surface the
snowblower will be operated over (page 51 ).
