Operator Safety / SNOWTHROWERS

This snowthrower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following

safety instructions could result in serious injury. Read these safety rules, and the safety rules in your tractor

Operator’s Manual, and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of vehicle,

severe personal injury to yourself, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in the text signifies

important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

Operator Safety

DANGER

Amputation hazard

The discharge chute

contains a rotating impeller

to throw snow. Fingers can

quickly become caught in

the impeller. Never clear or

unclog the discharge chute

with your hands. Always

use a clean-out tool.

Failure to observe these safety instructions will

result in traumatic amputation or severe laceration.

Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the

discharge chute is the most common cause of injury

associated with snowthrowers. Never use your hands to

clean out the discharge chute.

To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow

these instructions:

1. Shut OFF the engine.

2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have

stopped rotating.

3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.

General

• Read this manual and the tractor Operator’s Manual

carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and

the proper use of the equipment.

• If snowthrower is equipped with a spring-assist tension

lever, never pull the spring-assist tension lever back

unless snowthrower is in fully raised position. The

spring is under tension when snowthrower is in lowered

position.

• Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not

allow adults to operate it without proper instruction.

• Do not carry passengers.

• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,

particularly small children, and pets.

• Never direct discharge chute towards bystanders.

• Make sure all hardware is secure and that snowthrower

is in good operating condition.

• Check to be sure all safety devices and shields are in

place.

• Check that all adjustments are correct before using this

unit.

Preparation

• Never attempt to make any adjustments while engine is

running.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the snowthrower is

to be operated and remove all foreign objects.

• Adjust the skid shoe height to clear gravel or crushed

stone surface. See the Maintenance and Adjustments

section for procedure.

• One wheel weight on each rear wheel or rear weights is

required.

Operation

• Exercise extreme caution when operating on, or

crossing, gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for

hidden hazards or traffic.

• Never allow anyone in front of the machine while it is

operating.

• After striking an object or if unit starts to vibrate

abnormally, stop the engine, disengage the PTO, and

remove the key. Check for the cause and any dam-age

before restarting. Before any inspection, make sure all

moving parts have stopped.

• Take all possible precautions before leaving operator’s

position. Disengage the PTO, lower the attachment, set

the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key.

• Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures,

automobiles, window wells, dropoffs, etc., without

proper adjustment of discharge angle.

• Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to

clear snow at too fast a rate.

• Never operate unit at high transport speeds on slippery

surfaces. Use care when travelling in reverse.

• Disengage power to snowthrower when transporting or

not in use.

• Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility

or light. Always be sure your feet are properly placed on

the footrests and keep a firm hold on the steering wheel.

Operator Safety / SNOWTHROWERS

WARNING

Perform the Safety System Interlock test found in your

tractor Operator’s Manual. If tractor does not pass the

test, do not operate the tractor. See your authorized

dealer. Under no circumstances should you attempt to

defeat the safety system.

Operating on Slopes

WARNING

• Never operate on slopes greater than 10°.

• Select slow ground speed before driving onto a

slope. Avoid using brakes to control speed.

• Drive up and down the face of the slopes, never

across the slope face.

• Use caution when changing directions and DO NOT

START OR STOP ON A SLOPE.

Recommended Accessories

Tire chains are recommended when installing this

attachment to your unit.
