obstructions or perform any other type of service to any Snow Blower
component while the Snow Blower is in motion or while the Auxiliary and/
or Power unit engine is running. Completely shut down the Snow Blower
and the Power unit and Auxiliary engines and wait for all motion to come
to a complete stop before servicing the Snow Blower or Power unit.
DANGER! Escaping pressurized hydraulic oil generated by hydraulic pumps has
the potential to inflict serious injury and possible death. Never attempt
to repair a pump or hose or tighten a connection while the system is
pressurized. Always shut down the Power unit and Auxiliary engines and
relieve hydraulic oil pressure before performing any repairs to the
hydraulic system.
WARNING! NEVER work on or near any engine component that has generated heat
until it has cooled down. Use extra caution around the exhaust manifold
near the water valve and the turbo charger manifold tubes. NEVER check
or replenish the fluid levels of the Power Unit and Auxiliary engine coolant
or hydraulic circuit oil levels until sufficient time has passed (up to 2 hours)
to allow the system to cool down. Contact with a hot engine component
or operating fluid may result in serious injury from burns, scalding and
possible death.

painted surfaces. Clean up spilled
fuel immediately.
