SNOWBLOWER SAFETY
Operating Conditions
Operating Near Roads
Operator Responsibility
Do not use the snowblower when visibility is poor. Under conditions
of poor visibility, there is a greater risk of striking an obstacle or
causing injury. Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting
passing bystanders or vehicles. Stay clear of the snow discharge chute
while the engine is running.
Always watch for vehicle traffic when operating the snowblower near
roads and driveways. Never operate the snowblower on public roads.
Know how to stop the snowblower quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all snowblower controls.
Never permit anyone to operate the snowblower without proper
instruction. Do not let children operate the snowblower. If people or
pets suddenly appear in front of the snowblower while it is in
operation, immediately release the auger and drive clutch levers to
stop the snowblower and avoid possible injury from rotating auger
blades.
While operating the snowblower, hold the handle firmly, and walk,
don’t run. Wear suitable winter boots that resist slipping.
