or fall and be ran over causing serious injury or death.
!
DANGER
Never work around or make contact with utilities such as gas
lines, electrical lines, or other hazards that can cause serious
injury or death from electrocution, explosion, or fire.
!
WARNING
Always be aware of pedestrians and vehicle traffic. Move
snow during low-traffic hours. Adjust chute to correct
trajectory due to wind that will not create a driving hazard for
all other vehicles. Always exercise safety, courtesy, and
common sense.
!
WARNING
Always dress to stay warm in cold weather. Use a skid steer or
tractor equipped with a cab to help stay warm and to protect
against cold blowing snow. Never allow your body or
extremities to become too cold. Go inside to warm-up if you
are getting too cold.
!
WARNING
Always travel removing snow at a speed that allows the
operator to be in control at all times and always be ready to
make emergency stops. Snow removal speed will vary
depending on depth of snow, snow moisture, and how tight the
snow is compacted.
!
WARNING
Beware of obstacles along side the skid steer/tractor while
making turns when backing up. Never swing front of tractor or
tractor mounted Snow Blower into fire hydrants, mailboxes,
buildings, vehicles, fences, trees, or other standing obstacles.
!
WARNING
Clear area to be worked of debris and other unforeseen
removable objects before blowing snow. Mark any potential
hazards that cannot be removed such as tree stumps, posts,
rocks, holes, and drop-offs with a visible flag. The Snow
Blower is capable of throwing solid objects at high speeds
causing property damage and serious bodily injuries, or death
to animals and people.
!
WARNING
Do not remove snow from an icy surface unless skid steer or
tractor is properly equipped for working on such a surface.
Always proceed with caution when traveling on ice. An icy
surface covered with snow will result in loss of traction and
steering control.
!
WARNING
Dress properly for the job. Do not wear loose fitting clothing
or clothing with pull strings such as hooded sweat shirts. Also,
keep long hair tucked in. Loose clothing, pull strings, and long
hair can become entangled in rotating parts causing serious
injury or death. Wear footwear that will improve footing on
slippery surfaces. Always be sure of your footing and keep a
firm hold on handles. Walk, never run.
!
WARNING
Do not abuse equipment. Incorrect use of skid steer or tractor
and Snow Blower can damage equipment structurally and
cause serious injury or death.
• Check hook-up points frequently to make sure tractor hitch
is properly positioned under the top angle bar, locking pins
are seated in their notches, handles are locked down, and
equipment is in good operating condition.
• Do not carry, lift loads, or use Snow Blower as a working
platform. Doing so can cause serious injury or death.
• Do not use Snow Blower for pulling objects out of the
ground, for digging into the ground, for prying other
objects, or for pushing and towing other equipment.
• Do not use skid steer/tractor loader arms for lifting front
end of the skid steer or tractor off the ground. Doing so can
damage equipment and cause injury if exceeding lift
capacity of unit.
•
The parts on your Snow Blower have been specially designed
and should only be replaced with genuine Land Pride parts.
Altering the
Snow Blower can adversely affect its
performance and/or reliability.
