SAFETY
A safe and careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the
manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being
awareofyourequipment,yoursurroundings,andobservingcertainprecautions. Thefirstsection
ofthis manual includes a listof Safety Messages that, iffollowed, will help protecttheoperator
and bystanders from injury or death. Read and understand these Safety Messages before
assembling,operating orservicingthis implement. Thisequipment shouldonly beoperated by
thosepersons whohaveread theManual, whoare responsibleandtrained,andwho knowhow
todo sosafelyand responsibly.
TheSafety Alert Symbol combinedwith a Signal Word,asseen below, is usedthroughout this
manual and on decals which are attached to the equipment. The Safety Alert Symbol means:
“ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!” The Symbol and Signal
Word are intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of
possible injury faced when operating this equipment..
CAUTION! The lowest level of Safety Message; warns of possible injury. Decals
located on the Equipment with this Signal Word are Black and Yellow.
WARNING! Serious injury or possible death! Decals are Black and Orange.
DANGER! Imminent death/critical injury. Decals are Red and White. (SG-1)
Practice all usual and customary safe working precautions and
above all---remember safety is up to YOU. Only YOU can prevent
serious injury or death from unsafe practices.
READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety
Messages. Serious injury or death may occur unless care is
taken to follow the warnings and instructions stated in the Safety
Messages. Always use good common sense to avoid hazards.

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause
cancerandbirth defects or otherreproductiveharm. Wash Hands after
handling. (SG-31)
Operator Safety Instructions and Practices
WARNING! Theoperatorandallsupportpersonnelshouldwearhardhats,safety
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for
protection from injury including injury from items thrown by the
equipment. (SG-16)
DANGER! Never operate the Power Unit or Implement until you have read and
completelyunderstandthisManual,thePowerUnitOperator’s Manual,
andeachoftheSafetyMessagesfoundintheManualoronthePower
Unit and Implement. Learn how to stop the Power Unit engine
suddenlyin an emergency. Never allowinexperiencedor untrained
personneltoooperatethePowerUnitandImplementwithoutsupervision.
Make sure the operator has fully read and understood the manuals
prior to operation. (SPU-36)
CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Power Units with or without an
Implement attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent
hearing loss. We recommend that you always wear hearing
protection if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe
hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an
extended period of time will cause permanent or total hearing loss.
Note: Hearing loss from loud noise [from power units, chain saws,
radios, and other such sources close to the ear] is cumulative over
a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. (SPU-20)

DANGER! KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement
and possible serious injury or death. (SG-24)
WARNING! Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform
repairs,maintenanceandwhenremovingaccumulatedmaterial. Only
stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing. Use a ladder or
raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from
gound level. Slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death.
(SG-33)

operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Power Unit or
Implement,anoperator on prescription orover-the-countermedication
mustconsult a medical professional regardingany side effects of the
medication that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment
safely. NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment
when their alertness or coordination is impaired. Serious injury or
death to the operator or others could result if the operator is under
the influnce of drugs or alcohol. (SPU-25)

DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are expensive and their presence could present a hazard.
Do not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams
from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue
damage including gangrene. Tocheckforahoseleak,SHUTthe
ENGINE OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil
impenetrable gloves, safety glasses and use Cardboard to
check for evidence of oil leaks. If you suspect a leak, RE-
MOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If oil does
penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physi-
cian knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)

DANGER! Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working
around utility lines. Never allow the Snow Blower within 10 feet of any
Utility power or gas line. Heavy snow or ice storms can cause utility
lines to sage or drop to the ground. Do not operate this equipment
where power lines are on the ground. When working close to Utility
linesconsult your electric orgas company fora safe code ofoperation.

crete structures, large rocks, utility boxes, fire hydrants, etc. DO NOT
allow the rotating parts of the Snow Blower to contact such items. In-
spect the area before operating the Snow Blower. Mark all solid items
clearly with a pole and flag. To reduce the possibility of property
damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the rotating blades
to contact such obstacles. (SSB-20)
WARNING! The Snow Blower can block the operators vision directly in front of the
Snow Blower. Inspect the area before operating the Snow Blower
and make sure that there are no obstacles, passersby, or coworkers
in the path of the Snow Blower. (SSB-22)
DANGER! Start the Power unit and Auxiliary engines only when seated and
belted in the operator seat. Operate the Snow blower controls only
while seated with the seat belt secured around you. Inadvertent
movement of the Power unit and/or Snow Blower components may

Power Unit and Auxiliary Engine operator’s manuals for proper
starting instructions. (SSB-24)
WARNING! Never run the Power unit or Auxiliary engine in a closed building or
without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous
and deadly to your health. If it is necessary to run the Power unit or
Auxiliary engine in an enclosed area, remove the exhaust fumes
from the area to the outdoors with an exhaust pipe extension. If you
do not have an exhaust pipe extension, or if it is not possible to use
one, open doors and circulate outside air into the area. (SSB-30)

thefollowingrules:
Beawareoftheoperatingconditions. Donot operate the Power Unit with
weakorfaulty brakes. When operating downahill or on wet orrainslick
roads,thebrakingdistanceincreases:use extreme care and reduce your
speed. When operating in traffic always use the Power Unit's flashing
warninglightsand reduce your speed. Beawareoftrafficaroundyouand
watch out for the other guy. (SPU-21)
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed
through the turn only after you determine that it is safe to operate
at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed when
turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning
over. Determine the maximum safe turning speed for you and this
equipmentbeforeoperating on roads or unevenground.
Only transport the Power Unit and Implement at the speeds that you
havedeterminedaresafe and which allow you toproperlycontrolthe
equipment.
Test the Power Unit at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.
Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping
characteristicsof the PowerUnit and Implement.
As you increase the speed of the Power Unit the stopping distance
increases. Determine the maximum safe transport speed for
you and this Equipment.
