obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation of the accessory.
GLOSSARY:
In this manual, right and left sides are determined by

In this manual, "accessories" means attachments
(snowblower, rotary broom, blade etc.) that you install
on the vehicle (lawn tractors, A.T.V. s etc).
TRAINING:
This symbol, "Safety Alert Symbol", is used
throughout this manual and on the accessory’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 vehicle and accessory.

familiar with the controls and proper use of the
vehicle and accessory. Know how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate the vehicle nor the
accessory. Never allow adults to operate the vehicle
nor the accessory without proper instructions.
3. No one should operate the vehicle nor the
accessory while intoxicated or while taking
medication that impairs the senses or reactions.
4. Keep the area of operation clear of all people,
particularly small children and pets.
PREPARATION:
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the accessory
is to be used and remove door mats, all foreign
objects and the like.
2. For motorized accessories, disengage all clutches
and shift into neutral before starting engine.
3. Do not operate the accessory without wearing
