Alamo Great White 8650-A Operator's Manual page 9

DANGER! DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly
maintained. Should a mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while
operating, immediately shut down the Tractor and perform repairs
before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death could
occur from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating
condition.
DANGER!
Do Not approach the front of the snow blower while the fan is
rotating. Contact with the rotating fan can result in serious in-
jury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the snow blower is securely blocked up before removing mate-
rial, performing service, and making repairs. (SSB-05a)
DANGER!
Do not put hands or feet near the rotating fan. Fan contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the snow blower is securely blocked up before removing material,
performing service, and making repairs.
DANGER!
Do not operate the implement while wearing loose fitting clothing. En-
tanglement of the clothing with the rotating elements can result in serious
injury or even death. Stay clear of all rotating elements at all times.

Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Practices
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline
WARNING!
to a Tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the
Mower resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and
mower failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the
driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or
equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match
the Tractor PTO.
DANGER!
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park,
and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect
or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches.
WARNING! When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is
important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides
freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor
PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could
come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement.
(S3PT-17)
WARNING!
Before operating the Mower, check to make sure the Implement input
driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs
when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly
becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious
damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through
the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A
broken drive line can cause personal injury.
