Do not operate Snow Blower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down
WARNING!
PTO and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Snow Blower to determine
the source of the vibration. If blades are missing or damaged replace
them immediately. Do not operate the Snow Blower until the blades
have been replaced and the Blower operates smoothly. Operating the
Snow Blower with excessive vibration can result in component failure
and broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To
reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even
death, never allow the Snow Blower to be operated with blades
missing.
DANGER! The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades and rotating members could fail
upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and
concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to
be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of
property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the
rotating blades to contact such obstacles.
DANGER! Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working around
utility lines. Never allow the Snow Blower within 10 feet of any Utility
power or gas line. Heavy snow or ice storms can cause utility lines to
sag or drop to the ground. Do not operate this equipment where power
lines are on the ground. When working close to Utility lines consult your
electric or gas company for a safe code of operation.
WARNING! Before dismounting to clear a clogged machine, place the transmission
in the park position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including
the PTO and the engine and remove the key. Wait until all rotating
motion has stop before dismounting.
WARNING! Snow can cover and hide solid objects such as guard rails, curbs, con-
crete structures, large rocks, utility boxes, fire hydrants, etc. DO NOT
allow the rotating parts of the Snow Blower to contact such items. In-
spect the area before operating the Snow Blower. Mark all solid items
clearly with a pole and flag.
damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the rotating blades
to contact such obstacles.
WARNING! The Snow Blower can block the operators vision directly in front of the
Snow Blower. Inspect the area before operating the Snow Blower and
make sure that there are no obstacles, passersby, or coworkers in
the path of the Snow Blower.
