2.2

Safety Guards and Covers

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of all L. T. Rich Products.
Unfortunately, our extensive efforts to provide safe equipment can be negated by a single
careless act of an operator. In addition to the design and configuration of the Snowrator,
hazard control and accidents prevention are also dependent upon the awareness,
condition, maintenance, and storage of the Snowrator. THE BEST SAFETY PRACTICE
IS AN INFORMED, CAREFUL OPERATOR!!
Safety guards are mounted around the engine and Hydro-Gear Pump coupler. These
guards are designed to cover the hydro coupler and the engine to protect the operator.
Removing these guards could cause injury to an operator and could void the Z-Spray's
warranty. Remove these guards ONLY when unit is turned off to do preventative
maintenance.
2.3

Operational Safety Rules

Never operate the Snowrator without all covers, shields, and safety devices installed and
secured.
Never permit any person other than the operator to ride or board the Snowrator at any
time. NEVER ALLOW RIDERS!!!
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on a hillside or
over rough ground, and when operating close to ditches, fences, or water.
The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to
himself or herself, other people.
Never allow anyone near the Snowrator while in operation.
Only operate machine from the operator's platform (Foot Pan), never operate machine
when standing on the ground.
Be alert for holes in the terrain as well as any other hidden hazards. Always drive slowly
over rough ground.
Never operate this machine on slopes or grades exceeding 10 degrees in any direction.
