In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, 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 stopped before dismounting.
Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised
position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the
implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might
inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not
put hands or feet under lifted components.
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.
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.
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.

Blow snow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the Tractor and Snow
Blower. Safe speed depends on terrain and snow conditions. Normal ground speed range
is from 0.5 to 1.5 mph. Use slow speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches,
drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be
avoided.
Snow Blowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing
objects for great distances (200 feet or more). Do not allow the
snow stream to fall on passersby. Ice, debris and heavy snow
thrown from the snow blower can cause serious injury or death.

STOP SNOW BLOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 200 FEET.
