The seriousness or degree of importance of each

tention.

Walker Manufacturing cannot predict every poten-
tially dangerous situation.  Therefore, items labeled
as such in this manual do not cover all conceivable
situations.  Any person using procedures, tools, or
control techniques not recommended by Walker
Manufacturing must take full responsibility for safety.

The Walker Tractor and Snowblower attachment
have been designed with many safety features to
protect the operator from personal harm or injury.
However, it is necessary for the operator to use safe
operating procedures at all times.  Failure to follow
safety instructions contained in this manual
may result in personal injury or damage to
equipment or property.

If you have any questions concerning setup, opera-
tion, maintenance, or safety, please contact your
authorized Walker Mower Dealer or call Walker
Manufacturing Company at (970) 221-5614.
