4. Disengage clutch and shift into neutral before starting the engine.

5. Do not operate equipment in wintertime without wearing adequate winter garments.

6. Never attempt to make any adjustments while engine is running. Read this manual carefully to acquaint yourself with the equipment as well as the tractor operator's manual. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to accidents. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - continued

Snowblower Operation

1. Before leaving the tractor unattended, take

all possible precautions. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and remove the ignition key. Lower the implement to the ground.

2. Before starting the snowblower, remove

any ice that has accumulated in the auger/impeller.

3. Watch carefully for foreign objects that

could enter the blower while operating.

4. Be sure the clutch switch/lever is in OFF

position before starting engine.

5. Do not put hands or feet near rotation parts.

Keep clear of discharge opening at all times.

6. Exercise extreme caution when operating

on or crossing a gravel drive, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry passengers.

7. Adjust collector housing height to clear

gravel or crushed rock surface.

13. Never operate snowblower near glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells, embankments, etc., without proper adjustment of snow discharge angle.

14. Never operate machine at high transport speeds on a slippery surface.

15. Use extra caution when backing up.

16. Do not direct discharge at bystanders or

animals. Ejected objects may cause injury.

17. Disengage power to auger/impeller when transporting or when not in use.

18. Never operate the snowblower without good visibility and lighting.

19. 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

8. Stop the engine, remove the key, and allow the rotating parts to stop before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or chute, and making any repairs, adjustments or inspections. Use only a 36" long piece of wood to unclog blower.

9. If the snowblower starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine immediately and check for cause. Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.

10. Do not run the engine indoors except when starting engine and transporting attachment in or out of building. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odourless and deadly.

11. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to operate on steep slopes.

12. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

13. Never allow anyone to operate the snowblower until they are thoroughly familiar with basic tractor and snowblower operation.

2. Do not allow anyone but the operator to ride on the tractor. There is no safe place for extra riders

14. A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

15. Always make sure all snowblower components are properly installed and securely fastened BEFORE operation.
