A safe operator is the best assurance against accidents. All operators, no matter how experienced they

Before Operation
1.
Read and understand this operator's manual
and tractor operator's manual. Know how to
operate all controls and how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
2.
Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing
around the tractor and the snowblower. It
may catch on moving parts or controls,
leading to the risk of accident.
3.
Before and during the snow season,
thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
objects that may be thrown or cause damage
to the equipment.
4.
Set transmission to neutral and 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.
7.
Replace all missing, illegible, or damaged
safety and warning decals. See list of decals
in the operator's manual.
8.
Do not modify or alter this equipment or any
of its components, or any equipment function
without first consulting your dealer.
9.
Keep safety decals clean of dirt and grime.
10.
Use of tire chains and rear counterweights is
recommended. Weights provide the
necessary balance to improve stability,
traction and steering. Use only those
recommended by your dealer.
