• Clearing snow is a physically demanding task and it is therefore advisable to take
sufficient breaks and consume adequate food and drink.

machine.
• Think about what you are doing at every manoeuvre. Do not be tempted to let routine dull
your attention. Never act impulsively or on reflex.
• Despite the extensive safety features, do not seek out dangerous situations (read appendix
7, which contains an indicative list of dangers).

cutter when the engine is running. If you must work in the vicinity of the Snowbob, switch
off the engine.
• If the blow chute becomes blocked, switch off the engine before commencing maintenance
work. Never put your hands in the blow chute if the engine is running. Use a wooden stick
to remove the obstruction.

check the working area for loose stones, sticks, nails, bits of wire, and so on.
