GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES
A 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 aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and
observing certain precautions. The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages that, if
followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death. Read and understand these Safety
Messages before assembling, operating or servicing this Implement. This equipment should only be operated
by those persons who have read the manual, who are responsible and trained, and who know how to do so
responsibly.
The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen below, is used throughout 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.
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.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH OR
VERY SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MAY result in MINOR
INJURY.
Identifies special instructions or procedures that, if not strictly observed, could result in
damage to, or destruction of the machine, attachments or the environment.
NOTE: Identifies points of particular interest for more efficient and convenient operation or repair. (SG-1) str
READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety Messages. Death or serious
injury 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. (SG-2) str

OPERATOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES
The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off.
The operator should remain in the operator’s seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been
set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased. (S3PT-
10) str
“Wait a minute...Save a life!”
Never crawl under a raised Implement supported solely by the Tractor 3-Point hitch.
Release of the control lever or mechanical failure will result in the Implement falling and
possible injury or death. Always securely block up the Implement before crawling underneath
to perform repairs and service. (S3PT-19) str
Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and
completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and
each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and
Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an
emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to
operate the Tractor or Implement without supervision. Make sure the
operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.
(SG-4)str
The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for
protection from injury including injury from items that may be thrown by the
equipment. (SG-16)str
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
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)str
Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s instructions
when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical agent. (SG-
22)str

KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement and
possible death or serious injury. (SG-24)str
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be killed or injured. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the
Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others. (SG-25) str
DO NOT 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 Implement,
an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult
a medical professional regarding any 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 influence of drugs or alcohol. (SG-
27) str
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) str
Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and
when removing accumulated material. 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
ground level. Slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death. (SG-33) str
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) str
Do Not put hands or feet near the rotating auger. Auger 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-5)str
