The following precautions should add up to no more
than 20 minutes each season-20 minutes that could possibly save toes and
fingers.
- While walking behind a snow blower, move
steadily and keep your balance at all times.
- Keep
a firm grip on the handles.
- Wear
boots with anti-skid features to avoid falling on the extra-slippery ice
often found on paved surfaces under the snow.
- Back
up carefully to avoid tripping and be prepared to release the snow blower
and/or traction drive controls immediately if your are losing your
footing.
- Watch
for holes or curbs that could cause you to lose your balance and fall.
- Reduce
speed on slopes and sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control.
- Watch
for traffic when you're approaching the street and try to avoid blowing
snow onto a road or highway.
- Adjust
both skids so auger housing clears gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
- Do
not overload the snow blower by clearing snow at too fast a rate.
- Do
not use the snow blower on a Roof.
- Allow
engine to warm up outdoors before clearing snow.
- Let
the snow blower run for a few minutes after clearing snow so moving parts
do not freeze.
- Never
operate the snow blower at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use
care when backing.
- Keep
hands and other parts of the body away from the engine and muffler when
it's hot to avoid a severe burn.
- Never
leave the snow blower unattended while the engine is running.
- STOP
the snow blower engine and disconnect the spark plug each time it is
necessary to clear a plugged chute. Use a stick to clear the chute, not
your hand.
