IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided may result in minor or moderate injury. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

This symbol is used to call attention to safety precautions that should be followed by the operator to avoid
accidents. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and heed its advice. Failure to comply
with safety precautions could result in serious bodily injury.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon
the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel in the operation, transport, maintenance and
storage of equipment. Lack of attention to safety can result in accident, personal injury, and reduction of efficiency
and worst of all – loss of life. Watch for safety hazards and correct deficiencies promptly. Use the following safety
precautions as a general guide to safe operations when using this machine. Additional safety precautions are used
throughout this manual for specific operating and maintenance procedures. Read this manual and review the safety

may catch and entangle on equipment moving parts.
4. Move wheels to the tractor manufacturer’s widest
recommended settings to increase stability.

5. Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.


 AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
ESCAPING fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury. Be sure to stop engine and relieve all pressure before disconnecting lines. Be sure all
connections are tight and that lines, pipes, and hoses are not damaged before applying pressure
to the system. fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of
cardboard or wood - not your hands - to search for suspected leaks.

SEE A DOCTOR at once if injured by escaping fluid. Serious infection or gangrene can develop if proper medical
treatment is not administered immediately.

 IMPORTANT FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS* CONCERNING
EMPLOYERS, EMPLOYEES AND OPERATIONS.

*(This section is intended to explain in broad terms the concept and effect of the following federal laws and regulations.
It is not intended as a legal interpretation of the laws and should not be considered as such).

U.S. Public Law 91-596 (The Williams-Steiger Occupational and Health Act of 1970) OSHA

This Act Seeks:

“…to assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the nation safe and healthful working conditions and
to preserve our human resources…”

DUTIES
Sec. 5(a) Each employer-
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment, which are free from recognized
hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
(b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all rules, regulations and
orders issued pursuant to this Act, which are applicable to his own actions and conduct.

OSHA Regulations
Current OSHA regulations state in part: “At the time of initial assignment and at least annually thereafter, the employer
shall instruct every employee in the safe operation and servicing of all equipment with which the employee is, or will be
involved.” These will include (but are not limited to) instructions to:

• Keep all guards in place when the machine is in operation.

• Permit no riders on equipment.
• Stop engine, disconnect the power source, and wait for all machine movement to stop before servicing, adjusting,
cleaning or unclogging the equipment, except where the machine must be running to be properly serviced or main-
tained, in which case the employer shall instruct employees as to all steps and procedures which are necessary to
safely service or maintain the equipment.
• Make sure everyone is clear of machinery before starting the engine, engaging power, or operating the machine.

EMPLOYEE TRACTOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Securely fasten your seat belt if the tractor has a ROPS.

2. Where possible, avoid operating the tractor near ditches, embankments, and holes.
3. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slick, or muddy surfaces.
4. Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation.
5. Watch where you are going, especially at row ends, on roads, and around trees.
6. Do not permit others to ride.
7. Operate the tractor smoothly – no jerky turns, starts, or stops.
8. Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended by tractor manufacturers.
9. When tractor is stopped, set brakes securely and use park lock if available.

Child Labor Under 16 Years Old

Some regulations specify that no one under the age of 16 may operate power machinery. It is your responsibility to
know what these regulations are in your own area or situations. (Refer to U.S. Dept. of Labor, Employment Standard
Administration, Wage & Home Division, Child Labor Bulletin #102.)

NOTE: Remember that while the operator is not seated

on the operator’s seat, the PTO will disengage. When
the operator attempts to engage the PTO while not
seated on the operators’ seat, the safety interlock
system will engage and the engine will stop: as a result,
all the moving components will stop moving.

• Pull the lever rearward to raise the snow blower.

Push the lever forward to lower the snow blower. If
the optional hydraulic cute rotation kit is installed,
pull the lever to the left to rotate the chute to the
left and push the lever to the right to rotate the
chute to the right.

• Push the lever fully forward until it locks in the

detent position to place the snow blower in the
float position. This position relieves hydraulic
pressure to the front lift cylinder, which lowers the
snow blower to the ground and allows it to follow
the contour of the round. Use the skid shoes to
adjust the snow blower height in this position.

NOTE: The blower should be operated in the float

position to prevent excessive wear to the skid shoes.

 MINIMUM HARDWARE TIGHTENING TORQUES
IN FOOT POUNDS (NEWTON-METERS) FOR NORMAL ASSEMBLY APPLICATIONS

Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque value or tightening procedure is listed for a specific application.
Fasteners must always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list.
Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware: SAE for SAE hardware and Metric for metric hardware.
Make sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.
All torque values are given to specifications used on hardware defined by SAE J1701 & J1701M JUL96.
