Safety -- It’s in your interest.
Safety Guidelines
Safety of operation is one of our main concerns, however it is up to the operator to practice
caution.
To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist that those working with you
follow them.
The Meteor Snowblower has only 2 shields, one shield is the PTO drive shield and the other is
a shield for the power hood turner if used.
Do not use the blower with the auger drive cover
removed as this is part of the blower frame.
Replace any decals that may be missing or not readable. Location of decals are indicated else-
where in this manual.
Do not use this machine while under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment should not be operated by those unfamiliar with the operation of the Meteor
Blower.
Do not allow persons to operate this machine until they have read this manual
and/or were instructed by a qualifi ed person,
Do not use this machine to push snow as this can result in the auger being broken or bent.
Please be careful with the extra weight on the back to the tractor. It may be neces-
sary to add weights on the front of the tractor to keep it balanced properly.
When changing shearbolts or removing ice or snow from the machine Please stop
the engine and remove the key from the tractor! This will reduce the possibility of the blow-
er being started and causing personal injury.
