Attachment Safety

Thoroughly inspect the area where you will use
the attachment, and remove all doormats, sleds,
boards, wires, and other foreign objects.

Shut off the engine before unclogging the
attachment and always use a stick.

Never direct the discharge toward people or areas
where property damage can occur.

When not actively clearing snow, disengage power
to the auger.

Exercise extreme caution when operating the
machine on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or
roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

Do not overload the attachment capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.

Never operate the machine at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces.

Do not operate the machine at a speed that could
cause injury to you and/or damage to the machine
if it were to hit an unseen, immovable object.

Raise the attachment when transporting it.

Run the attachment a few minutes after throwing
snow to prevent freeze-up of the collector and
impeller.

Safety and Instructional
Decals

Safety decals and instructions are
easily visible to the operator and are
located near any area of potential
danger. Replace any decal that is
damaged or missing.
