tially dangerous situation. Therefore, items labeled

The Walker Tractor and Snowblower attachment

protect the operator from personal harm or injury.
However, it is necessary for the operator to use safe
operating procedures at all times. Failure to follow
safety instructions contained in this manual
may result in personal injury or damage to
equipment or property.
If you have any questions concerning setup, opera-
tion, maintenance, or safety, please contact your
