SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - continued

Snowblower Operation

1.Before leaving the tractor/snowblower unattended, take all possible precautions. Park the tractor/snowblower on level ground, place the transmission in neutral, set the parking brake, disengage the PTO, lower the snowblower to the ground, place all levers including auxiliary control levers in neutral, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key.

2.Before starting the tractor/ snowblower, remove the ice that might have accumulated on the auger, inspect and clean every rotating part.

3.Prior to operation, clear work area of all objects that can be picked up and thrown. Mark all curbs, pipes, etc. that cannot be moved.

4.Be sure the PTO switch/lever is in OFF/disengaged position before starting engine.

5.Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing a gravel drive, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

6.Do not carry passengers.

7.Keep clear of all rotating parts. Do not put hands or feet under, or into snowblower with engine running. Be especially observant of the snowblower areas of discharge, intake or all other mechanical motions.

8.Park the tractor/snowblower on level ground, place the transmission in neutral, set the parking brake, disengage the PTO, lower the snowblower to the ground, place all control levers in neutral, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key and allow the rotating parts to stop BEFORE unclogging the housing or the chute and making any repairs, adjustments or inspections. Use only a 36" long stick of wood to unclog the snowblower.

9.For your safety, do not work under any hydraulically supported machine elements that may creep down, suddenly drop or be accidentally lowered.

10.If the snowblower starts to vibrate abnormally, disengage the PTO, stop the engine immediately and check for cause. Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.

11.Do not run the engine indoors except when starting engine and transporting attachment in or out of building. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless and deadly.

12.Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or immediately after stopping the engine. These areas may be hot enough to cause serious burns.

13.Do not attempt to operate on steep slopes. If operating on slopes is necessary, exercise extreme caution when changing direction.

14.Never operate snowblower without guards, and other safety protective devices in place. All tractor and snowblower shields and covers must be correctly installed at all times. When necessary to remove these, they must be reinstalled immediately.

15.Never operate snowblower near glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells, embankments, etc., without proper adjustment of snow discharge angle.

16.Never operate machine at high transport speeds on a slippery surface.

17.Use extra caution when backing up.

18.Disengage power to auger when transporting or when not in use.

19.Never operate the snowblower without good visibility and lighting.

20.Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable noises.

21.Never allow anyone near the work area.

22.Never allow anyone to operate the snowblower until they have read the manual completely and are thoroughly familiar with basic tractor and snowblower operation.
