Snow Blower Pre-Operation Inspection/Service

Before  each  implement  use,  a  complete  inspection  and  service  is  required  to  ensure  the  implement  is  in  a
good  and  safe  working  condition.  Damaged  and/or  broken  parts  should  be  repaired  and/or  replaced
immediately. To ensure the implement is ready for operation, conduct the following.

Periodically  inspect  all  moving  parts  for  wear  and  replace  when
necessary with authorized service parts.  Look for loose fasteners, worn
or  broken  parts,  and  leaky  or  loose  fittings.    Make  sure  all  pins  have
cotter pins and washers.  Serious injury may occur from not maintaining
this machine in good working order.
