SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - continued 
OM 0408SB1174-A 
Snowblower Operation 
1.  Before leaving the tractor/snowblower 
unattended, take all possible precautions. 
Park the tractor/snowblower on level 
ground, place the transmission in neutral, 
set the parking brake, disengage the PTO, 
lower the snowblower to the ground, place 
all levers including auxiliary control levers in 
neutral, shut off the engine and remove the 
ignition key. 
2.  Before starting the tractor/ snowblower, 
remove the ice that might have 
accumulated on the auger/fan, inspect and 
clean every rotating part. 
3.  Prior to operation, clear work area of all 
objects that can be picked up and thrown. 
Mark all curbs, pipes, etc. that cannot be 
moved. 
4.  Be sure the PTO switch/lever is in 
OFF/disengaged position before starting 
engine. 
5.  Exercise extreme caution when operating 
on or crossing a gravel drive, walks, or 
roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or 
traffic.  
6.  Do not carry passengers. 
7.  Keep clear of all rotating parts. Do not put 
hands or feet under, or into snowblower 
with engine running. Be especially 
observant of the snowblower areas of 
discharge, intake or all other mechanical 
motions.  
8.  For your safety, do not work under any 
hydraulically supported machine elements 
that may creep down, suddenly drop or be 
accidentally lowered.  
9.  Park the tractor/snowblower on level 
ground, place the transmission in neutral, 
set the parking brake, disengage the PTO, 
lower the snowblower to the ground, place 
all control levers in neutral, shut off the 
engine, remove the ignition key and allow 
the rotating parts to stop BEFORE 
unclogging the housing or the chute and 
making any repairs, adjustments or 
inspections. Use only a 36" long stick of 
wood to unclog the snowblower. 
10. If the snowblower starts to vibrate 
abnormally, disengage the PTO, stop the 
engine immediately and check for cause. 
Excessive vibration is generally a sign of 
trouble. 
11. Do not run the engine indoors except when 
starting engine and transporting attachment 
in or out of building. Carbon monoxide gas 
is colorless, odorless and deadly. 
12. Do not attempt to operate on steep slopes. 
If operating on slopes is necessary, 
exercise extreme caution when changing 
direction. 
13. Never operate snowblower without guards, 
and other safety protective devices in place. 
All tractor and snowblower shields and 
covers must be correctly installed at all 
times. When necessary to remove these, 
they must be reinstalled immediately. 
14. Never operate snowblower near glass 
enclosures, automobiles, window wells, 
embankments, etc., without proper 
adjustment of snow discharge angle. 
15. Never operate machine at high transport 
speeds on a slippery surface. 
16. Use extra caution when backing up. 
17. Disengage power to auger/fan when 
transporting or when not in use. 
18. Never operate the snowblower without 
good visibility and lighting. 
19. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can 
cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear 
a suitable hearing protective device such as 
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against 
objectionable or uncomfortable noises. 
20. Never allow anyone near the work area. 
21. Never allow anyone to operate the 
snowblower until they have read the 
manual completely and are thoroughly 
familiar with basic tractor and snowblower 
operation.
