22. The safety gap to the rotating parts defined by the guide bar must always be assured.
23. Stop the motor before moving it over surfaces such as pavements or yard entrances
which should not be cleared. Operate the machine always only in a faultless and safe
condition.
24. Check the area to be cleared and remove all objects which could be taken up and
ejected by the machine.
25. Possible damage to the machine: When foreign bodies (e.g. stones) strike the machine
or unusual vibration occurs, switch off the machine and check for damage. Repair any
damage before working any more with the machine.
26. Operate the machine only in faultless condition. Make a visual inspection each time
before starting up. Inspect for damage in particular the safety components, electrical
operating elements, electrical wiring and screw connectors for tightness. If necessary
replace damaged parts before operating.
27. In case of extreme temperature differences, please allow the rotary snowplough a short
time to adjust to the ambient temperature before beginning to clear snow. Otherwise,
by beginning immediately with the work, early wear on the drive shaft and other
components, for example rubber seals can take place.
28. Work slowly and carefully, particularly when changing direction. Direct the machine
against the gradient or with the gradient, but not across it. Watch out for hindrances, do
not work near hilly terrain. Never use the machine on slopes with a gradient more than
20%.
29. Clear snow immediately after snowfall; later the snow layer beneath turns icy and
makes the work difficult.
30. Where possible clear in the wind direction.
31. Clear snow so that the cleared tracks overlap a little.
Electrical Safety
32. Use only connecting cables (max. 50 m), which are suitable for outdoor use e.g. -
H07RN-F 3x1,5 mm² down to –25°C
-
H07BQ-F 3x1,5 mm² down to –40°C
33. Cable extensions must be protected against water splashes and made of rubber or
covered in rubber.
34. Before use, check each time whether the cable extensions are damaged, brittle or
entangled. For this you must switch off the machine and unplug it. Use only cables that
are in faultless condition.
35. Switch off the motor, unplug the power supply when you
-
are not using the machine
-
you leave the machine unattended or
-
you do adjustments, maintenance or repair work.
36. For your power supply socket use a personal protection switch (= faulty current
protection switch with a max. of 30 mA actuator current).
37. In case you cut through the cable when working, there is danger to life and limb. Back
off from the machine slowly in small steps. Unplug the power supply. Take care that the
connecting cable does not come near the work area.
38. If you turn the machine you could trip over the connecting cable and injure yourself.
Position the cable so it can not get into the walking or work area.
-
Work with the machine at normal walking speed.
-
Work only where there is sufficient light.
