DANGER! Snow Blowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects
for great distances (200 feet or more). Do not allow the snow stream to
fall on passersby. Ice, debris and heavy snow thrown from the snow
blower can cause serious injury or death.

STOP SNOW BLOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 200 FEET.
DANGER!
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Snow Blower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in deep
snow where vision is reduced. The fan blades of this Snow Blower can
throw objects for great distances Serious injury or even death may occur
unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator, bystanders, or
passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the
immediate area. Stop Snow Blowing if anyone is within 200 feet of Snow
Blower.

DANGER! The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades and rotating members could fail upon
impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete
structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown
outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property
damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the rotating blades
to contact such obstacles.

WARNING!
When blowing snow with two machines in the same area be sure that
windows are closed.

WARNING! Do not operate Snow Blower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down
Power Unit and Implement engines. Inspect the Snow Blower to
determine the source of the vibration. If blades are missing or
damaged replace them immediately. Do not operate the Snow Blower
until the blades have been replaced and the Blower operates smoothly.
Operating the Snow Blower with excessive vibration can result in
component failure and broken objects to be thrown outward at very
high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
injury, or even death, never allow the Snow Blower to be operated with
blades missing.
