WARNING!
Only operate the snow blower in conditions were you have clear visibility
in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never snow blow in
darkness or in conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards
in front and to the sides of the Tractor and Snow Blower. Make sure that
you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-
offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign objects. If
you are unable to clearly see these types of items, discontinue snow
blowing.
WARNING!
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as
gravel, rocks, wire and other debris. Foreign objects should be removed
from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even
death. Any object that cannot be removed must be clearly marked and
carefully avoided by the operator. Stop snow blowing immediately if the
auger or fan strikes a foreign object. Repair all damage before resuming
snow blowing.
WARNING! Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains can become
entangled in the operating parts of the Snow Blower. These items could
then swing outside the housing at high speeds. Such a situation is
extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death.
Inspect the work area for such objects before snow blowing. Remove any
like object from the site. Never allow the auger to contact such items.

overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects
are to be avoided.
