Safety Section 1-5
SAFETY
Do not put hands or feet near the rotating fan. Fan contact can result in
serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the snow blower is securely blocked up before removing material,
performing service, and making repairs.
(SSB-6)
Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and
Practices
Only use Tractors equipped with a ROPS cab and seatbelt with this equipment. Always
wear your seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from loss of control of the
tractor or falling off.
(SSB-18)
Do not operate the implement while wearing loose fitting clothing. Entanglement of the
clothing with the rotating elements can result in serious injury or even death. Stay clear of
all rotating elements at all times.
(SSP-3)
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor
PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in
excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also
change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious
bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.
(S3PT-14)
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
(S3PT-15)
When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the
connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the
Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the
Implement.
(S3PT-17)
Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not
bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates
the outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious
damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support bearings or
downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken driveline can cause personal injury.
