SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read this section carefully before operating the A.T.V.
and snowblower. This snowblower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe
the following safety instructions could result in serious injury. All operators, no matter how experienced they may be,
should read this and other manuals related to the A.T.V. and attachments before operating. It is the owner's legal
obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation of the snowblower.
TRAINING:
This symbol, "Safety Alert Symbol", is used
throughout this manual and on the
snowblower’s safety labels to warn of the
possibility of serious injury. Please take special
care in reading and understanding the safety
precautions before operating the snowblower or
the A.T.V.
1. Read this owner's manual carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and proper use of the
A.T.V. and snowblower. Know how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate snowblower nor the
A.T.V. Never allow adults to operate snowblower nor
the A.T.V. without proper instructions.
3. No one should operate the A.T.V. nor the
snowblower while intoxicated or while taking
medication that impairs the senses or reactions.
4. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets.
PREPARATION:
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
snowblower is to be used and remove door mats,
all foreign objects and the like.
2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
starting engine.
3. Do not operate the snowblower without wearing
adequate winter outer garments. Avoid loose fitting
clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear
footwear that will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.
4. Handle fuel with care, it is highly flammable.
a) Use 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 a trailer bed with a plastic liner.
Always place containers on the ground, away
from your vehicle, before filling.
OPERATION:
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine
(motor), disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s)
and keep wire away to prevent accidental starting.
Thoroughly inspect the snowblower for any damage
and repair damage before restarting and operating
the snowblower.
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 container opening at all times, until
refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
g) Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled
fuel.
h) If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
5. Adjust the height of the snowblower to clear gravel or
crushed rock surface. This is done by adjusting the
skid shoes.
6. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running (except when specifically
recommended by manufacturer).
7. Let engine (motor) of the A.T.V. and snowblower
adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to
clear snow.
8. 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.
9. Never modify the snowblower or any part
without the written consent from the
manufacturer.
