SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OM 0421SB-A 7
SNOWBLOWER OPERATION
1. Before leaving the tractor unattended, take
all possible precautions. Park the
tractor/snowblower on level ground, place
the transmission in neutral, set the parking
brake, disengage the PTO, lower the
equipment to the ground, place all levers
including auxiliary control levers in neutral,
shut off the engine and remove the ignition
key.
2. Before starting the tractor/ snowblower,
remove any ice that has accumulated in
the auger/fan.
3. Prior to operation, clear work area of all
objects that can be picked up and thrown.
Mark all curbs, pipes, etc. that cannot be
moved.
4. Be sure the PTO switch/lever is in OFF
position before starting engine.
5. Exercise extreme caution when operating
on or crossing a gravel drive, walks, or
roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or
traffic.
6. Do not carry passengers.
7. Adjust collector-housing height to clear
gravel or crushed rock surface.
8. Keep clear of rotating parts. Do not put
hands or feet under, or into snowblower
with engine running.
9. Park the tractor/snowblower on level
ground, place the transmission in neutral,
set the parking brake, disengage the PTO,
lower the equipment to the ground, place
all control levers in neutral, shut off the
engine, remove the ignition key and allow
the rotating parts to stop BEFORE
unclogging the collector/fan housing or
chute, and making any repairs,
adjustments or inspections. Use only a 36"
long piece of wood to unclog blower.
10. If the snowblower starts to vibrate
abnormally, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine immediately and check for cause.
Excessive vibration is generally a sign of
trouble.
11. Do not run the engine indoors except when
starting engine and transporting
attachment in or out of building. Carbon
monoxide gas is colorless, odorless and
deadly.
12. Do not attempt to operate on steep slopes.
If operating on slopes is necessary,
exercise extreme caution when changing
direction.
13. Never operate snowblower without guards,
and other safety protective devices in
place.
14. Keep clear of chute discharge. This chute
has the capability of throwing objects at far
distances.
15. Never operate snowblower near glass
enclosures, automobiles, window wells,
embankments, etc., without proper
adjustment of snow discharge angle.
16. Never operate machine at high transport
speeds on a slippery surface.
17. Use extra caution when backing up.
18. Do not direct discharge at bystanders or
animals. Ejected objects may cause injury.
19. Disengage power to auger/fan when
transporting or when not in use.
20. Never operate the snowblower without
good visibility and lighting.
21. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can
cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear
a suitable hearing protective device such
as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against
objectionable or uncomfortable noises.
22. Never allow anyone near the work area.

THE TRACTOR
General Information
1. Read the operator's manual carefully
before using tractor. Lack of operating
knowledge can lead to accidents.
2. Do not permit anyone but the operator to
ride on the tractor. There is no safe place
for passengers.
Operating the Tractor
1. Never run the tractor engine in a closed
building without adequate ventilation, as
the exhaust fumes are very dangerous.
2. Adopt safe driving practice: Keep the brake
pedals latched together at all times unless
independent braking is required. Never use
independent braking during transport.
3. Always drive at a safe speed relative to
local conditions and ensure that your
speed is low enough for an emergency
stop to be safe and secure.
4. Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the
risk of overturning. Keep speed to a
minimum.
5. Always keep the tractor in gear to provide
engine braking when going downhill. Do
not coast.
6. Never allow an open flame near the fuel
tank or battery.
7. Make sure the PTO shield is installed when
using the equipment and always replace
the PTO shield if damaged.
8. Park the tractor/snowblower on level
ground, place the transmission in neutral,
set the parking brake, disengage the PTO,
lower the equipment to the ground, place
all levers including auxiliary control levers
in neutral, shut off the engine and remove
the ignition key BEFORE leaving the
tractor.
9. Never park the tractor on a steep slope.
10. Do not attempt to operate on steep slopes.
Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes.
11. Use of rear counterweights for better
traction and stability is recommended.
12. Handle fuel with care, as it is highly
flammable.
13. Use approved fuel container.
14. Never add fuel to a running engine or a hot
engine.
15. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel
cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
16. Never allow anyone to operate the
snowblower until they have read the
manual completely and are thoroughly
familiar with basic tractor and snowblower
operation.
17. Make sure the tractor is counterweighted
as recommended by your dealer. Weights
provide the necessary balance to improve
stability, traction and steering.
18. Always make sure all snowblower
components are properly installed and
securely fastened BEFORE operation.
19. Never attempt to start the engine and/or
engage snowblower drive while standing
beside the tractor.

seat with all the transmission lever(s) and
snowblower drive lever in neutral.
