10.1 Foreign Debris Hazards
Before blowing snow, inspect the area to make
sure there are no objects larger than 2" to be snow
blowed or debris that can get entangled on the
auger.
Remove all foreign objects and debris. If
objects are too big to remove, mark them clearly
and be sure to prevent the implement from
contacting them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris that is
larger than 2", stop the implement and tractor at
once. Immediately idle the engine speed and
disengage the PTO. Wait for all rotating motion to
stop, then raise the implement and move the
tractor and implement off the object. Inspect the
area and mark the location of the debris. Inspect
the condition of the implement and make any
needed repairs immediately. Make sure the auger
is not damaged before resuming operation.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and snowblower with the ROPS in
the raised position. If the tractor or snow blower hits a tree stump or bump, a sudden movement could throw
you off of the seat and under the tractor and snowblower. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off
the tractor and the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over. OPS-SB-0016_A
Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to
make yourself aware of any area underwater or underground lines or cables. Contact with
buried lines or cable could result in serious injury or death.

the immediate area. Stop operating if anyone comes within 25 feet of the equipment.
10.2 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. Set the tractor
engine speed at approximately 1,000 RPM before engaging the PTO. Shift the PTO control to the ON position,
and slowly increase the engine speed until the PTO is operating at the rated speed. If you here unusual noises
or feel abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately. Inspect the snow blower to determine the cause
of the noise or vibration and repair the abnormality. OPS-SB-0017
