TO AVOID INJURY FROM THROWN OBJECTS

Preparation

(When

● Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects. ● Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine. ● Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces. ● Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. a. Use an approved fuel container. b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine. c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors. d. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from your vehicle, before filling. e. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle. f. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

Safety container opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device. g. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel. h. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately. ● Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface. ● Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except when specifically recommended by the manufacturer). ● Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine.

6. Remove the key.

7. Wait for engine and all moving parts to stop before you leave the operator’s seat.

8. Close fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.

9. Disconnect the negative battery cable or remove the spark plug wire (s) (for gasoline engines) before servicing the machine.

OUO1023,0000035-19-21FEB13

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:

TH84124,0000135-19-22MAY13

Operation

a. Shut the engine off. b. Wait ten seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating. c. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.

● Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. ● Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. ● After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the spark plug wire, thoroughly inspect the snowblower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowblower. ● If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. ● Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector or impeller housing, or discharge guide, and when making any repairs, adjustments or inspections.

When leaving the machine unattended, disengage the power takeoff, lower the attachment, lock the park brake, stop the engine, and remove the key.

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

Donotruntheengineindoors,exceptwhenstartingtheengineand for transporting the snow thrower in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.

Do not clear snow across the face of slopes, go up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes. ● Never operate the snowblower without proper guards, and other safety protective devices in place.

Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property ● damage can occur. Keep children and others away.

Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow ● at too fast a rate. ● Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when backing. ● not carry passengers.

Do ● Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front of the unit. ● Disengage power to the collector or impeller when the snowblower is transported or not in use. ● Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snowblower (such as wheel weights, counterweights, and cabs).

Never operate the snowblower without good visibility or light.

TH84124,0000138-19-06JUN13

Maintenance and Storage

● Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. ● 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, and clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. ● Always refer to operator’s manual for important details if the snowblower is to be stored for an extended period. ● Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary. ● Run the machine a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze up of the collector or impeller.

Practice Safe Maintenance

● Only qualified, trained adults should service this machine. ● Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry. ● Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. ● Never lubricate, service or adjust the machine or attachment while it is moving. Keep safety devices in place and in working condition.

Keep hardware tight. ● Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from any moving parts, to prevent them from getting caught. ● Lower any attachment completely to the ground or to an existing attachment mechanical stop before servicing the attachment.

Disengage all power and stop the engine. Lock park brake and remove the key. Let machine cool. ● Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire (for gasoline engines) before making any repairs. ● Before servicing machine or attachment, carefully release pressure from any components with stored energy, such as hydraulic components and springs. ● Release hydraulic pressure by lowering attachment or cutting units to the ground or to a mechanical stop and move hydraulic control levers. ● Securely support any machine or attachment elements that must be raised for service work. Use jack stands or lock service latches to support components when needed. ● Never run engine unless park brake is locked. ● Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Replace all worn or damaged safety and instruction decals.

●

TH84124,0000136-19-06JUN13

Safety ● Check all hardware at frequent intervals to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. ● Do not modify machine or safety devices. Unauthorized modifications to the machine or attachment may impair its function and safety.

TH84124,000013A-19-22MAY13

Avoid Injury from Moving Parts

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the tractor spark plug wire or battery to prevent accidental starting.

Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of any discharge area at all times.

Protect your hands when you inspect or unplug the attachment. Wear gloves and use proper tools.

Before you dismount to unplug or adjust attachment:

● Disengage PTO. ● Stop the engine. ● Lock the park brake. ● Remove the key. ● Wait for all moving parts to stop. ● Keep hands, feet and clothing away from attachment when engine is running.

TH84124,000013B-19-22MAY13
