SAFETY
CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMA-
NENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors 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 tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources
close to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural
recovery. (SG-I7)
WARNING! Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturers instruc-
tions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical
agent. (SG-22)
DANGER! KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement
and possible serious injury or death. (SG-24)
DANGER! Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children
can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can
cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others. (SG-25)
DANGER! NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the
Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s
alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Imple-
ment, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must
consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medi-
cation 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 influence of
drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)
WARNING! Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting
safe operation. Take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these
potentially impaired operating conditions. Never operate the Implement
and Tractor in a fatigued or bored mental state which impairs proper and
safe operation. (SG-32)

DANGER! DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly
maintained. Should a mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while
operating, immediately shut down the Tractor and perform repairs
before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death could
occur from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating
condition. (SG-36)
DANGER! Do Not approach the front of the snow blower while the fan is
rotating. Contact with the rotating fan can result in serious in-
jury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the snow blower is securely blocked up before removing mate-
rial, performing service, and making repairs. (SSB-05a)
DANGER! Do not put hands or feet near the rotating fan. Fan contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the snow blower is securely blocked up before removing material,
performing service, and making repairs. (SSB-6)
DANGER! Do not operate the implement while wearing loose fitting clothing. En-
tanglement of the clothing with the rotating elements can result in serious
injury or even death. Stay clear of all rotating elements at all times. (SSP-
3)
Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Practices
WARNING! DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline
to a Tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the
Mower resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and
mower failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the
driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/
or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match
the Tractor PTO. (S3PT-14)
DANGER! Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park,
and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect
or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches. (S3PT-15)
WARNING! When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is
important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides
freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor
PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could
come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement.
(S3PT-17)
WARNING! Before operating the Mower, check to make sure the Implement input
driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs
when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly
becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious
damageto the Tractor PTO bypushingthe PTO into the Tractor andthrough
the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A
broken drive line can cause personal injury. (S3PT-18)

WARNING! Only use Tractors equipped with a ROPS cab and seatbelt with this
equipment. Always wear your seat belts. Serious injury or even death
could result from loss of control of the tractor or falling off.
(SSB-18)
Equipment Operation Safety Instructions and Practices
DANGER! This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or
transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or
striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other solid
objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot
violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. (S3PT-12)
WARNING! Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved
roll-over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious
injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly
during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.
(SG-7)
DANGER! BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set the
tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift
lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never
dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the
Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
(SG-9)
DANGER! Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
DANGER! Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or
Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they
have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in safe
operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough
to reach and operate the controls easily. (SG-11)
WARNING! Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor
only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.

WARNING! Only operate the snow blower in conditions were you have clear visibility
in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never snow blow in
darkness or in conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100
yards in front and to the sides of the Tractor and Snow Blower. Make
sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes,
ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and
foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these types of items,
discontinue snow blowing. (SSB-1)
WARNING! Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire and other debris. Foreign objects should be
removed from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury
or even death. Any object that cannot be removed must be clearly
marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop snow blowing
immediately if the auger or fan strikes a foreign object. Repair all
damage before resuming snow blowing. (SSB-2)
WARNING! Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains can become
entangled in the operating parts of the Snow Blower. These items could
then swing outside the housing at high speeds. Such a situation is
extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death.
Inspect the work area for such objects before snow blowing. Remove any
like object from the site. Never allow the auger to contact such items.
(SSB-3)
WARNING! Blow snow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the
Tractor and Snow Blower. Safe speed depends on terrain and snow
conditions. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph. Use slow
speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs,
overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects
are to be avoided. (SSB-4)
DANGER! Snow Blowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects
for great distances (200 feet or more). Do not allow the snow stream to
fall on passersby. Ice, debris and heavy snow thrown from the snow
blower can cause serious injury or death. (SSB-7)
STOP SNOW BLOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 200 FEET.
WARNING! Do Not blow snow with two machines in the same area except with cab
tractors with the windows closed. (SSB-10)

Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices
WARNING! Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor.
Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual
steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to
the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by
adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the
front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-
over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of
steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury.
Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious
damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator
or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
WARNING! Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while
turning. Implements carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the
tire path when making turns. Contacting a solid object while turning
will cause equipment damage and possible injury. (S3PT-20)
WARNING! Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic
regulations. (SG-6)
WARNING! Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can
result from operating this equipment at unsafe speeds. Understand the
Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets
and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good
condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the safe
transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by
the following rules:
1. Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.
Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping
characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases.
Determine the maximum safe transport speed for you and this
Equipment.
2. 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 equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.
3. Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that
you have determined are safe and which allow you to properly
control the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with
weak or faulty brakes. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick
roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce
your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor’s flashing
warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)
