Clearing A Clogged Discharge Chute; Service, Maintenance And Storage; Emissions - Snapper 1226 Manual Del Operador

21. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for acci-
dents occurring to other people or property.
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.
23. DO NOT wear long scarves or loose clothing that
could become entangled in moving parts.
24. Snow can hide obstacles. Make sure to remove all
obstacles from the area to be cleared.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
unit and the operating activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the area and under the watchful
care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the unit.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
vision.
CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE
CHUTE
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the dis-
charge chute is the most common cause of injury associ-
ated with snowthrowers. Never use your hand to clean
out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean out tool, not your hands.
SERVICE, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent inter-
vals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is
in safe working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water and spacer heaters, or clothes dry-
ers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3. Always refer to the operator's manual for impor-
tant details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an
extended period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as
necessary.
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
6. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.
7. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling prac-
tices when refueling the unit after transportation or
storage.
