Operation 7
12030809 (Rev. 1/2/2007)
OPERATION
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
Never place hands or body into discharge chute
or auger to unclog. Stored energy can cause auger
to quickly rotate when unclogging occurs and
cause severe injury or amputation. Stop engine,
remove key, disconnect driveline, and carefully
unclog, using a sturdy piece of wood.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Stop power unit and implement immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any
damage before resuming operation.
IMPORTANT
■ When installing tire chains, be sure wheel
spacer kit has been installed on both wheels.
Chains will rub fenders if spacers are not installed.
See your Mow'n Machine dealer for correct tire
chains and spacer kits.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)
___ Check that all hardware and cotter pins are prop-
erly installed and secured.
___ Inspect area and remove stones, branches or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
___ Do not allow riders.
___ Perform a functional check of the safety interlock
system each time you operate the unit. Place
both steering levers outward, start engine,
engage PTO and then raise up out of the seat.
The engine should die when you raise up. If it
does not, do not operate unit until the safety inter-
lock system has been repaired and operates
properly.
___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety
decal instructions on page 4 through page 6.
___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in
good condition. Replace if damaged.
___ Check that all shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
___ Check that all hardware and cotter pins are prop-
erly installed and secured.
Be sure all fasteners on snowthrower and mounts are
secure and all shields are in place before operating
unit.
For clearing paved surfaces, adjust skids to allow bot-
tom of auger housing to scrape the surface being
cleared. For cleaning unpaved surfaces, adjust skids to
raise bottom of auger housing 3/4" above surface to
help avoid picking up rocks or other loose material. Be
sure bottom surfaces of skids are parallel with surface
being cleaned.
Adjust discharge spout and deflector to direct snow
away form operator as much as possible. Do not direct
discharge toward windows, bystanders or objects.
Operate engine at 3/4 to full throttle.
Tire chains are available for added traction.
