Safety Information

!
DANGER
Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking
driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A
person's body and/or clothing can become entangled in the
driveline resulting in serious injury or death.
!
DANGER
Always operate Snow Blower with tractor flashing lights
turned on. Be extremely careful blowing snow at night with
rear bright lights on. Approaching traffic from either direction
can mistake which traffic lane you are traveling in and your
direction of travel.
!
DANGER
Keep people and animals away from tractor and Snow Blower
while unit is operating. They can become entangled in the
Snow Blower auger or ran over by the tractor and/or Snow
Blower causing serious injury or death.
!
DANGER
Always disengage PTO and wait for PTO to come to a
complete stop before cleaning out a plugged discharge chute.
The impeller blades are located just below the chute and will
nip off fingers/hands while unplugging the chute if turning.
!
DANGER
Never attempt to unclog built-up snow from the auger or
chute, make adjustments, perform maintenance, or clean the
Snow Blower with PTO engaged. Rotating impeller and auger
can causing serious bodily injury or death.
!
DANGER
Do not operate a broken or bent driveline. Such drivelines can
break apart while rotating at high speeds causing serious
injury or death. Always remove Snow Blower from service
until damaged drivelines are repaired or replaced.
!
DANGER
All guards must be installed and in good condition at all times
during operation!
!
DANGER
Tractor PTO shield, Gearbox shaft shield, and driveline
shields must be secured in place when operating Snow Blower
to avoid injury or death from entanglement in driveline.
!
DANGER
Make certain Snow Blower is resting on the ground and all
hydraulic pressure is relieved before disconnecting hydraulic
fittings for the Snow Blower.

DANGER
Do not lift 3-point Snow Blower fully up with driveline
engaged. A Snow Blower raised too high can cause rotating
u-joints to break apart and throw components at high speeds
causing serious injury or death.
!
DANGER
Do not operate and/or travel across steep inclines where a
tractor can slip or roll-over causing serious injury or death.
Consult your tractor's manual for acceptable inclines the
tractor is capable of traveling across.
!
DANGER
Always disconnect driveline from tractor PTO before
servicing drive train components or underside of unit. Snow
Blower can be engaged if tractor is started causing bodily
injury or death.
!
DANGER
Never run gravel, crushed rock, or other solid objects through
the Snow Blower. Doing so will result in an expensive break-
down. The Snow Blower is also capable of throwing solid
objects at high speeds causing property damage and injury or
death to animals and people.
!
DANGER
Always secure Snow Blower in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of Snow Blower. Never
work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics
can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic
lines burst. Either situation can drop the Snow Blower
instantly even when power to hydraulics is shut off.
!
WARNING
Do not use a PTO adapter. A PTO adapter will increase strain
on the tractor's PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to
shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the
tractor's PTO shield and could cause bodily injury or death.
!
WARNING
Always dress to stay warm in cold weather. Use a tractor
equipped with a cab to help stay warm and to protect against
cold blowing snow. Never allow your body or extremities to
become too cold. Go inside to warm-up if you are getting too
cold.
!
WARNING
Dress properly for the job. Do not wear loose fitting clothing
that could get caught in moving parts and be careful with long
hair around moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve
footing on slippery surfaces. Always be sure of your footing
and keep a firm hold on handles. Walk, never run.
