BEFORE OPERATION
CHECK YOUR WORK AREA
For your safety and the safety of others, always inspect the area before
operating the snow blower.
Objects
Anything that can be picked up by the auger and thrown is a potential hazard to
you and others. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used
and remove all doormats, newspapers, sleds, boards, wires, stones, nails and
debris from the work area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the work area can move into your snow blower's path
or into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects. Clear the area
of people, especially children, and pets. Their safety is your responsibility.
Work Area
Check the condition of the snow. Adjust your snow blower ground speed (not
engine speed) and snow blowing swath accordingly.
Check the skid for proper adjustment. Adjust the skid to obtain the auger
ground clearance for the type of surface the snow blower will be operated over
(see page 47).
Carefully check the area before operating the snow blower in reverse or when
backing up close to fences or walls.
