Safe Operation Practices for Snow Throwers

Training

1.Read the operating and service instruction manual care- fully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.

2.Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.

3.Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets.

4.Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse.

Preparation

1.Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires and other foreign objects.

2.Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before start- ing the engine.

3.Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

4.Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.

a)Use an approved fuel container.

b)Never add fuel to a running or hot engine.

c)Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

d)Replace gasoline caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

5.Use a grounded three-wire plug-in for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.

6.Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.

7.Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except where specifically recommended by manufacturer).

8.Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow.

9.The operation of any powered machine can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair.

Operation

1.Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

2.Exercise extreme caution when operating on or cross- ing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

3.After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow thrower.

4.If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

5.Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating posi- tion, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge guide and when making any repairs, adjust- ments or inspections.

6.When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting make certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. Disconnect the cable on electric motors.

7.Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting it - and for moving the snow thrower in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous. 3

8.Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.

9.Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place.

10.Never operate the snow thrower near glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, etc. without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle. Keep children and pets away.

11.Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.

12.Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when reversing.

13.Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front of the unit.

14.Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow thrower is transported or not in use.

15.Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel weights, counterweights, cabs, etc.).

16.Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

Maintenance and Storage

1.Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, etc., at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

2.Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, etc. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

3.Always refer to owner’s guide instructions for important details if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended period.

4.Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as necessary.

5.Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
