4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the engine (motor) and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the
operating position, before unclogging the impeller/
collector housing or discharge chute, and when
making repairs, adjustments or inspections.
6. Take all possible precautions when leaving the
machine unattended. Disengage the power take-off,
lower the attachment, set the parking brake, shut
the engine off and remove the key.
7. When cleaning, unclogging, repairing or inspecting
the snowblower & tractor, make certain the
collector/impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect wire from the spark plug(s)
and keep wire away to prevent accidental starting.
8. Do not run the engine indoors, except when
starting the engine and for transporting the
snowblower in or out of the building. Do not
operate or let motor run in a storage area without
ventilation because gas contains carbon monoxide
which is odourless, colorless and can cause death.
9. Do not clear snow across the face of slopes; go up
and down. Exercise
operating on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep
slopes.
10. Never operate the snowblower without proper
guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in
place.
11. Never direct discharge at bystanders or operate
the snowblower
automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, and the like
without proper adjustment of the snow discharge
angle. Never allow anyone including children and
pets in the clearance area.
12. Do not overload the
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. Let the
snowblower ingest snow at its own rate.
13. Never operate the snowblower at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use
care when backing.
14. Do not carry passengers.
15. Disengage power to the collector /impeller to stop
all rotating parts
transported or not in use.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
extreme caution

when the snowblower
16. Use only
manufacturer of the snowblower (such as wheel
chains, counterweights, cabs). You must use 100
lbs. of rear counterweight for better traction and a
greater stability at all times when using a
snowblower that is installed on the front of a
tractor.
17. Never operate the snowblower without good
visibility or light.
CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE:
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowblowers. Never use your hand to
clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. Lower snowblower to the ground and set parking
brake.
2. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF & REMOVE KEY!
3. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the all moving parts
such as the impeller blades have stopped moving.
4. Disconnect wire from the spark plug(s) and keep
wire away to prevent accidental starting.
5. Always use a clean-out tool of at least 36" in length,
NOT YOUR HANDS.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
when
1. Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, and
other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness
to be sure the snowblower 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, and the like. Allow the engine to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
3. Always refer to the owner's manual when you store
the snowblower for an extended period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,
as necessary.
5. Run the snowblower a few minutes after throwing
snow to prevent freeze-up of the rotating parts
such as collector/impeller.
