SAFETY PRECAUTIONS- continued

OM 0437SB1388-A

AINTENANCE

ALWAYS USE GE NUINE PARTS WHEN

REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
1.

Keep the tractor and snowblower properly
maintained.

Park the tractor and snowblower on level
ground, place the transmission in neutral,
set the parking brake, disengage the PTO,
lower the snowblower to the ground, place
all control levers in neutral, shut off the
engine and remove the ignition key and
allow the rotating parts to stop BEFORE
making any snowblower adjustments.

To avoid injury, do not adjust, unblock the
driving system, or service the snowblower
with the tractor engine running. Make sure
rotating components have completely
stopped BEFORE leaving the operator’s
seat.

Keep the tractor and snowblower clean.
Snow, dirt or ice build-up can lead to
malfunction or personal injury from
thawing and refreezing in garage.

Always wear eye protection when cleaning
or servicing the snowblower.

DO NOT service the tractor while the
engine is running or hot, or if the unit is in
motion. Always lower snowblower to the
ground. If necessary to service
snowblower in raised position, securely
support with stands or suitable blocking
before working underneath. Do not rely on
hydraulically supported devices for your
safety. They can settle suddenly, leak
down, or be accidentally lowered.

Do not attempt to service machine, clear
obstructions or unclog the snowblower
with the engine running. Always shut off
engine and allow all motion to cease.

The manufacturer will not claim
responsibility for fitment of unapproved
parts and/or accessories and any
damages as a result of their use.

Make sure all shields and guards are
securely in place following all service,
cleaning, or repair work.

10.

Do not modify or alter this snowblower or

any of its components or operating
functions. If you have questions
concerning modifications, consult with your
dealer.

11.

Do not operate a snowblower that is defective or
has missing parts. Make sure that all
recommended maintenance procedures are
completed before operating the snowblower.

12.

Check all controls regularly and adjust where
necessary. Make sure that the brakes are evenly
adjusted.

13.

Periodically check all nuts and bolts for tightness,
especially wheel hub and rim nuts.

14.

To avoid serious personal injury: Escaping
hydraulic/diesel fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Do not
use your hands to check for leaks. Use a piece of
cardboard or paper to search for leaks. If you are
injured by escaping high pressure fluid, see a
medical doctor at once.

15.

Stop engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses.
Tighten all connections before starting engine or
pressurizing hoses.

RANSPORTATION

If the tractor/snowblower is to be driven on public
roads, it must be equipped with an SMV
(Slow Moving Vehicle) sign. Check local traffic
codes that may apply to unit usage on public roads
and highways in your area.

Be alert for all other traffic when driving the
tractor/snowblower on public roads or highways.

TORAGE

Before storing the snowblower, certain pre-
cautions should be taken to protect it from
deterioration.

Clean the snowblower thoroughly.

Make all the necessary repairs.

Replace all Safety Signs that are damaged, lost,
or otherwise become illegible. If a part to be
replaced has a sign on it, obtain a new safety
sign from your dealer and install it in the same
place as on the removed part.

Repaint all parts from which paint has worn or
peeled.

Lubricate the snowblower as instructed under
"Lubrication" section.

When the snowblower is dry, oil all moving parts.
Apply oil liberally to all surfaces to protect against
rust.

Attach driveline shield safety chain around
driveline by passing it over the upper hitch.

Store in a dry place.
