There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this Snow Blower.
REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in deep snow where vision is reduced. The
fan blades of this Snow Blower can throw objects for great distances Serious injury or even
death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator, bystanders, or
passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the immediate area.
Stop Snow Blowing if anyone is within 200 feet of Snow Blower.
Do not operate Snow Blower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor
engine. Inspect the Snow Blower to determine the source of the vibration.
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.
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.
Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working around utility lines.
Heavy snow or ice storms can cause utility lines to sag or drop to the ground. Never allow
the Snow Bower within 10 feet of any Utility power or gas line. When working close to Utility
lines consult your electric or gas company for a safe code of operation.
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.
Snow can cover and hide solid objects such as guard rails, curbs, concrete structures, large
rocks, utility boxes, fire hydrants, etc. DO NOT allow the rotating parts of the Snow Blower
to contact such items. Inspect the area before operating the Snow Blower. Mark all solid
items clearly with a pole or flag. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury,
or even death, never allow the rotating blades to contact such obstacles.
