Maintenance - Ryobi RY40806 Manual Del Operador

WARNING:
Do not wear loose clothing, scarves, or jewelry. They can
be caught in moving parts and cause death or serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Keep all snow discharge pointed away from all electri-
cal devices to reduce the risk of electrocution or electric
shock.
WARNING:
Never point the snow blower or discharge chute in the
direction of people or pets. Thrown snow or other objects
can cause serious personal injuries.
WARNING:
Make sure the area to be cleared is free of stones, sticks,
wires, gravel, and other objects that could be accidentally
thrown by the snow blower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
WARNING:
Before performing any maintenance, make sure the snow
blower battery is removed to avoid accidental starting
and possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only authorized replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
OPERATION
 If the unit comes in contact with any type of obstruction
or debris during use, stop the snow blower, remove the
battery pack, remove the obstruction, and inspect the
unit carefully for damage before proceeding.
WARNING:
Never reach into the discharge chute or place any body
part in front of the snow blower when the unit is operat-
ing or when the battery pack is installed. Always ensure
all moving parts have stopped and the battery pack has
been removed before clearing any obstructions. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in serious personal
injury.
 Take notice of the direction of the wind before beginning.
When possible, discharge snow in the same direction as
the wind to prevent snow from being thrown back into
your face.
 Some parts of the snow blower can freeze under extreme
weather conditions. Do not attempt to operate the unit
with frozen parts.
 When finished, allow the motor to run for an additional
few minutes, then turn the chute rotation lever back and
forth several times to remove any remaining snow from
the chute.
