Snow Blower
Safety
3.
Leave all Safety Features Intact
- Guards,
shields, deflectors, and warning decals are on the machine for your
protection and that of others.
- Do
not disable a safety feature because it seems to be an inconvenience.
- If
a safety feature is lost or damaged, or a decal becomes illegible,
discontinue use of the snow blower until the damaged or missing parts are
repaired or replaced.
- The
auger/impeller interlock and traction interlock are for your protection.
Do not modify, change, bypass or disable them.
- Before
each use, check the auger/impeller to ensure that both parts are not
frozen, but free to rotate. Also, ensure that the auger/impeller control
and traction drive control are in good working condition. If the
auger/impeller and traction drive do not stop as intended, repair your
snow blower before using.
Guards,
Shields and Deflectors
Do not remove or disable a
deflector or shield, and do not operate the snow blower if the deflector is in
any position other than the normal operating position.
Do not remove or reposition the wire guard for any reason. It is there to
prevent unintentional insertion of your hand into the impeller area and to
remind you to keep your hand out.
ROTATING
IMPELLER OR AUGER CAN CUT OFF OR INJURE FINGERS OR TOES.
Stay behind the handles and away from discharge opening while operating the
snow blower. Keep face, hands, feet and any other parts of your body and
clothing away from concealed, moving or rotating parts.
If a foreign object is hit or the snow blower vibrates abnormally, stop engine
by turning key to OFF and wait for all moving parts to stop. Disconnect the
spark plug wire from the spark plug and check snow blower immediately for
possible damage, an obstruction, or loose parts. Vibration is generally a sign
of trouble. Repair any damage before operating snow blower again.
Avoid People and Animals in Operating Area
- Keep children and
pets far away from the area when you're operating a snow blower. Snow can
be discharged to distances of 30ft. or more, depending on the size of the
unit. A machine that throws snow that distance can propel a rock or other
objects at great velocity, so take special care to discharge snow away
from people, buildings and vehicles.
- Stop
the engine if a person or foreign object appears in your snow throwing
area. This is the only sure way to avoid possible injury to that person or
damage to objects in the area.
If
Vibrating or Damaged, Stop Using Immediately!
Vibration is generally a sign
of trouble. Repair any damage before operating snow blower again.
- If
a foreign object is hit or the snow blower vibrates abnormally, stop
engine by turning key to OFF and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
and check snow blower immediately for possible damage, an obstruction, or loose
parts.
