safety rules regarding outdoor power equipment 

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the 
manual and on the unit before starting. If the 
operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read English it is 
the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to 
them. 
• Become familiar with the safe operation of the 
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs. 
• All operators and mechanics should be trained. 
The owner is responsible for training the users. 
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar 
with the instructions, to operate the unit. 
• Never let children or untrained people operate or 
service the equipment. Local regulations may 
restrict the age of the operator. 
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for 
accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, other 
people or property. 

• Evaluate the terrain to determine what 
accessories and attachments are needed to 
properly and safely perform the job.  Use only 
accessories and attachments approved by the 
manufacturer. 
• Wear appropriate clothing including safety shoes, 
safety glasses and ear protection. Long hair, loose 
clothing or jewelry may get tangled in moving parts. 
• Inspect the area where the equipment is to be 
used and remove all objects such as rocks, toys 
and wire, which can be thrown by the machine. 
• Use extra care when handling gasoline and other 
fuels. They are flammable and vapors are 
explosive. 
a) Use only an approved container. 
b) Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the 
engine running. Allow engine to cool before 
refueling. Do not smoke. 
c) Never refuel or drain the machine indoors. 
• Check that operator’s presence controls, safety 
switches and shields are attached and functioning 
properly. Do not operate unless they are functioning 
properly. 

• Never run an engine in an enclosed area. 

• Operate only in the daylight or with good artificial 
light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards. 
• Be sure of your footing while using pedestrian 
controlled equipment, especially when backing up. 
Walk, don’t run. 
• Do not operate in reverse unless absolutely 
necessary. Always look down and behind before 
and while traveling in reverse. 
• Be aware of the blower discharge direction and do 
not point it at anyone. Do not operate the blower 
without deflectors in place. 
• Never leave a running unit unattended. Always 
stop engine before leaving unit.  
• Never operate with guards not securely in place. 
Be sure all safety features are attached, adjusted 
properly and functioning properly. 
• Never operate with the discharge deflectors 
removed or altered. 
• Do not change the engine governor setting or over 
speed the engine.  
• Stop on level ground, shut off engine before 
leaving the operator’s position for any reason. 
• Stop equipment and inspect impeller blades after 
striking objects or abnormal vibration occurs. Make 
necessary repairs before resuming operations. 
• Keep hands and feet away intake and discharge 
areas. 
• Keep pets and bystanders away. 
• Do not operate the unit while under the influence 
of alcohol or drugs. 
• Use caution when crossing roads and sidewalks. 
Stop engine if not blowing. 
• Use care when loading or unloading the machine 
into a trailer or truck. 
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, 
trees or other objects that may obscure vision. 

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control 
and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe 
injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If 
you cannot back up the slope, or if you feel uneasy 
on it, do not drive on it. 

• Blow across the face of slopes; never up and 
down. 
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
