OPERATION
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.
Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Never place hands or body into discharge chute or auger to unclog. Stored energy can cause auger to quickly rotate when unclogging occurs and cause severe injury or amputation. Stop engine, remove key, disconnect driveline, and carefully unclog, using a sturdy piece of wood.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
CAUTION
Stop power unit and implement immediately upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit, using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.
IMPORTANT
■When installing tire chains, be sure wheel spacer kit has been installed on both wheels. Chains will rub fenders if spacers are not installed. See your Mow'n Machine dealer for correct tire chains and spacer kits.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)
___ Check that all hardware and cotter pins are prop- erly installed and secured.
___ Inspect area and remove stones, branches or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.
___ Do not allow riders.
___ Perform a functional check of the safety interlock system each time you operate the unit. Place both steering levers outward, start engine, engage PTO and then raise up out of the seat. The engine should die when you raise up. If it does not, do not operate unit until the safety inter- lock system has been repaired and operates properly.
___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety decal instructions on page 4 through page 6.
___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
___ Check that all shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if dam- aged.
___ Check that all hardware and cotter pins are prop- erly installed and secured.
Be sure all fasteners on snowthrower and mounts are secure and all shields are in place before operating unit.
For clearing paved surfaces, adjust skids to allow bot- tom of auger housing to scrape the surface being cleared. For cleaning unpaved surfaces, adjust skids to raise bottom of auger housing 3/4" above surface to help avoid picking up rocks or other loose material. Be sure bottom surfaces of skids are parallel with surface being cleaned.
Adjust discharge spout and deflector to direct snow away form operator as much as possible. Do not direct discharge toward windows, bystanders or objects. Operate engine at 3/4 to full throttle.
Tire chains are available for added traction.
