4. Notes on Safety

General Safety Rules

Understand your machine

Allow operation only by properly trained adult, never children.

Read and understand the operator’s manual

and labels affixed to the machine. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.

Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the machine and disengage the controls quickly.

Make sure to read and understand all the instructions and safety precautions as outlined in the Engine Manufacturer’s Manual, packed separately with your unit. Do not attempt to operate the machine until you fully understand how to properly operate and maintain the Engine and how to avoid accidental injuries and/or property damage.

Work area

Never start or run the engine inside a closed area. The exhaust fumes are dangerous, containing carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a well ventilated outdoor area. Never operate the machine without good visibility or light. Never operate the machine on a steep slope.

Personal safety

Do not operate the machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to use it properly. Dress properly. Wear heavy long pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, short pants, and jewelry of any kind. Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

G B

Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc. are securely tightened. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine.

Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical condition. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel leaks. Keep the machine in safe working condition.

Never tamper with safety device. Check their proper operation regularly.

Do not use the machine if the engine’s throttle control does not turn it on or off. Any gasoline powered machine that can not be controlled with the engine throttle control is dangerous and must be replaced.

Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from machine area before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the machine.

Do not overreach. Do not operate the machine while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine’s throttle control is off before transporting the machine or performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or performing maintenance or service on a machine with its throttle control on invites accidents.

Fuel safety

Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.

When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage container while in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.

Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with known leaks in the fuel system.

When practical, remove the machine from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the machine on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.

Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the firm of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lockopen device.

Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 12.5mm (1/2”) below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space for expansion as the heat of the engine and/or sun cause fuel to expand.

G B

Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.

Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated. Serious personal injury can occur when fuel is pilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area. Safely away from sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition.

Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach a spark, open flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

Machine use and care

Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is running.

Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed

of the engine.

Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts. Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely hot from operation. They remain hot for a short time after you turn off the unit. Allow the engine to cool before doing maintenance or making adjustments.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the machine.

If the machine should start to make an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally warning of trouble.

Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.

Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the chance of a fire hazard.

Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris. Clean after each use.

Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.

Store idle machine out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

G B

the machine or these instructions to operate it. Machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Service

Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting shut off the engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped. Always make sure the engine’s throttle control is in its STOP position. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.

Have your machine serviced by qualified repair personnel using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine maintained.

Specific Safety Rules

Do not operate without wearing adequate winter outer garments.

Do not use the machine on a roof.

Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or out of the building.

Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.

Always check overhead and side clearances carefully before operation. Always be aware of traffic when operating along streets or curbs.

Thoroughly inspect the area to be worked. Keep the working area clean and free of toys, doormats, newspapers, sleds, boards, wires and other foreign objects, which could be tripped over or thrown by the auger/impeller. Check for weak spots on docks, ramps or floors.

Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge toward people or areas where

property damage can occur.

Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Machine can suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 23m (75 feet) away. If you are approached, stop the unit immediately.

Use a grounded three-wire extension cord and receptacle for all machines with electric start engines.

Check clutch and brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required. All motion of drive wheels and auger/impeller must stop quickly when control levers are released.

Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperature before starting to clear snow. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast of a rate. Do not throw snow any higher than necessary.

Adjust auger housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces. Exercise extreme caution when operating.

Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse. Never operate machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

Do not operate on steep slopes. Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Use a slow speed to avoid stops or shifts on slopes. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. Do not park machine on a slope unless absolutely necessary. When parking on

G B

a slope, always block the wheels.

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

Disengage all control levers and stop engine before you leave the operating position (behind the handles). Wait until the auger/ impeller comes to a complete stop before unclogging the chute assembly, making any adjustments, or inspections.

Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snow throwers. Do not unclog chute assembly while engine is running. Shut off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging. Never put your hand in the discharge or collector openings. Always use the clean-out tool provided to unclog the discharge opening.

Scraper Blade & Skid Shoes

The scraper blade allows better contact with the surface being cleared. It also prevents damage to the housing from normal use.

The skid shoes are located on each side of the auger housing and control the distance between the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid shoes equally to keep the scraper blade level with the ground.

The scraper blade & skid shoes are subject to wear and damage. Both scraper blade and skid shoes are adjustable to compensate for wear. They should be checked and adjusted periodically. Replace when necessary.

Damage to auger housing will result

if scraper blade wears down too far.

Both scraper blade and skid shoes have two wear edges. When one side wears out, they can be rotated 180o to use the other edge.

Shear Pins

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with shear pins and clevis pins. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear, preventing damage to any other components. If augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared. Replace the shear pins if necessary.

Do not substitute. Use only original equipment shear pins as supplied with your snow thrower.

Auger

When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger housing.

Discharge Chute

Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the discharge chute.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

Never use your hands to clear a clogged discharge chute . Shut off

engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging.

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. Should snow and ice become lodged in the discharge chute during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the discharge chute and chute opening:

1. Release the auger clutch lever and shut off the engine.

2. Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the rear of the auger housing.

3. Grasp the tool firmly by the handle and push and twist the tool into the discharge chute to dislodge the blockage.

4. Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger housing.

the power outlet first and then from the machine.

To prevent damaging the electric starter, do not run it more than 5 continuous seconds each time you try to start. Wait 10 seconds

between each attempt.

Adjustments

Skid Shoes

Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. For removal of snow in normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk, place skid shoes in the higher position to give a 3mm (1/8”) clearance between the scraper blade and the ground. Use a middle or lower position when the area

to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.

It is not recommended to operate the snow

thrower on gravel as it can easily pick up

and throw by the impeller, causing personal injury or damage to the snow thrower and

surrounding property.

If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel surface, use extra caution and keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the ground and the scraper blade.

Always adjust skid shoes after adjusting

scraper blade to prevent premature wear to

scraper blade or damage to auger housing.

To adjust the skid shoes:

1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position.

2. Make sure the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.

3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Auger Clutch and Drive Clutch

When auger clutch lever or drive clutch lever is released and in the disengaged position, the

G B

cable should have very little slack.

Auger must stop within 5 seconds when the auger clutch lever is released. If auger clutch does not engage or disengage properly, adjust auger clutch before operation.

If the snow thrower’s drive is disengaging intermittently during operation, or it drives when you release the drive clutch lever, adjust the drive clutch before operation.

Both auger clutch and drive clutch can be adjusted as follows:

1. Loosen jam nut on adjustment turnbuckle.

2. Turn the adjustment turnbuckle up and down to increase cable tension or provide more slack.

3. Retighten jam nut.

Chute Bracket

It is easier and more efficient to remove snow immediately after it falls.

The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.

Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be removed.

For large areas, start in the middle and throw snow to each side, so snow is not cleared more than once.

For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow removal by overlapping previous path and moving slowly.

Throw snow downwind whenever possible. Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life.

After snow-throwing is completed, let the engine run for a few minutes to help dry off the moisture on the engine and prevent

G B

moving parts from freezing. Engage the auger to clear any remaining snow from inside the housing. Rotate the discharge chute to prevent it from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove all ice and snow from the snow thrower. With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle several times to prevent the recoil starter from freezing up.

8. Maintenance and Care

Engine

Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual.

Lubrication

Auger Gearbox

The gearbox was filled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. Unless there is evidence of leakage or service has been performed on the gearbox, no additional lubricant should be required. If lubricant is required, use GL-5 or GL-6, SAE85-95, EP gear oil lubricant. Do not use synthetic oil.

General Lubrication

Lightly lubricate all moving parts of the machine at the end of the season or every 25 operating hours.

Do not allow grease or oil get on friction

disc, friction plate or belts. Do not

excessively oil the machine; extra oil may enter the traction drive and cause the traction drive belt to slip.

When lubricating auger shaft, remove shear

pins to apply oil inside the shaft and around spacers and flange bearings found at either end of the shaft.

Remove the wheels to apply grease

the wheel shaft.
