Operation

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 crossinggravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazardsor traffic. Do not carry passengers.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, removethe spark plug wire, thoroughly inspect the snow throwerfor any damage, and repair the damage before restartingand operating the snow thrower.

If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop theengine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration isgenerally a warning of trouble.

Stop the engine whenever you leave the operatingposition, before unclogging the collector or impellerhousing, or discharge guide, and when making any repairs,adjustments or inspections.

Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine

unattended. Disengage the power take-off, lower theattachment, lock the park brake, stop the engine, andremove the key.

When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain thecollector or impeller and all moving parts have stopped.Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire awayfrom the plug to prevent accidental starting.

attachment. Disengage all power and stop the engine. Lockpark brake and remove the key. Let machine cool.

Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire (forgasoline engines) before making any repairs.

Before servicing machine or attachment, carefully releasepressure from any components with stored energy, such ashydraulic components and springs.

Release hydraulic pressure by lowering attachment orcutting units to the ground or to a mechanical stop andmove hydraulic control levers.

Securely support any machine or attachment elements

that must be raised for service work. Use jack stands orlock service latches to support components when needed.

Never run engine unless park brake is locked.

Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed.Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.Replace all worn or damaged safety and instruction decals.

Check all hardware at frequent intervals to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

MIF

Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physicaldamage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses and lines

regularly. Replace damaged hoses and lines.

Hydraulic fluid connections can loosen due to physicaldamage and vibration. Check connections regularly.Tighten loose connections.

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skincausing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relievingpressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect handsand body from high pressure fluids.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluidinjected into the skin must be surgically removed within afew hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar withthis type of injury should reference a knowledgeable

John Deere greases to avoid component failure andpremature wear.

The recommended John Deere greases are effective withinan average air temperature range of -29 to 135 degrees C

(-20 to 275 degrees F).

If operating outside that temperature range, contact yourServicing dealer for a special-use grease.

The following greases are preferred:

John Deere Multi-Purpose SD Polyurea Grease

If not using any of the preferred greases, be sure to use ageneral all-purpose grease with an NLGI grade No.2 rating.

Wet or high speed conditions may require use of aspecial-use grease. Contact your Servicing dealer forinformation.

Gear Oil

Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperaturerange during the period between oil changes.

John Deere GL-5 Gear Lubricant is recommended.

Other oils may be used if they meet one or more of the
