Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence controls to
minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with such con-
trols. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator presence con-
trol under any circumstances.
Operation
1.
2.
3.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives,
walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire
from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly
inspect snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snowthrower.
Training
1.
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the
manuals before operating this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the con-
trols and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
4.
5.
6.
If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor)
and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning
of trouble.
2.
3.
4.
Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to
operate the equipment without proper instruction.
Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position,
before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute and
when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small
children and pets.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/im-
peller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental
starting.
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating in
reverse.
7.
Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for
transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside
doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CARBON MONOX-
IDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
Preparation
1.
2.
3.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
8.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not attempt to
clear steep slopes.
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine
(motor).
9.
Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other
safety protective devices in place and working.
Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter outer
garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property
damage can occur. Keep children and others away.
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at
too fast a rate.
4.
Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
a.
b.
c.
Use an approved fuel container.
Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery sur-
faces. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse.
Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is trans-
ported or not in use.
Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer
of the snowthrower (such as cabs, tire chains, etc..).
d.
e.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with
a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from
your vehicle, before filling.
15. Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always
be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk,
never run.
When practical, remove gas--powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
such on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gaso-
line dispenser nozzle.
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
17.
Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures, automobiles,
window wells, drop--offs, and the like without proper adjustment of the
snow discharge angle.
f.
Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle
lock--open device.
18.
19.
Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front of the
unit.
g.
h.
Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disengage the auger
and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.
5.

7.
8.
9.
Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufactur-
er for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.
20.
21.
Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to
other people or property.
Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surfaces.
22.
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved
in a large percentage of power equipment--related injuries. These
operators should evaluate their ability to operate the unit safely
enough to protect themselves and others from injury.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is
running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).
Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures
before starting to clear snow.
23. DO NOT wear long scarves or loose clothing that could become
entangled in moving parts.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while
performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects
that may be thrown from the machine.
24. Snow can hide obstacles. Make sure to remove all obstacles from
the area to be cleared.
