SAFETY
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.
(SSB-1) str
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.
(SSB-2) str
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.
(SSB-3) str
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.
(SSB-4) str
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.
(SSB-7) str
STOP SNOW BLOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 200 FEET.
When blowing snow with two machines in the same area be sure that windows are closed.
(SSB-10) str
