Safety
See additional Safety Information at the beginning of Operating Instructions and Maintenance Instructions
Your SS-4000 is manufactured to state-of-the-art technical regulations. Despite this, it is possible that
operation will result in danger to life and limb for the operator or third parties, impairments to the machine
and other physical assets.
The machine is intended exclusively for use for brushing operations in property maintenance and snow
clearance. Examples of intended use are: snow clearing; sidewalk, driveway & parking lot cleaning (with
multi-purpose brushes); spring debris clean-up; dethatching; clearing debris from artificial turf; and leaf
clean-up (with Multi-Purpose brushes). Any operation over and above these uses will be considered as a
non-intended use. SnowEx will not be held liable for any resulting damages. The operator alone is respon-
sible for any risk. Intended Use also includes observance of the Owner’s Manual and keeping to all service
and maintenance procedures.
Always keep the Owner’s Manual available at the machine’s place of work. In addition to this Owner’s
Manual, furnish all users with information regarding legal or other important regulations regarding accident
prevention. These duties can include handling hazardous materials; wearing personal safety equipment; and
traffic regulations. You should supplement this Owner’s Manual with instructions covering information related
to use of powered machinery; and operating equipment near people, other machines and traffic.
Do not smoke or have any open flame near the machine. Gasoline vapors could explode.
Only use the machine in perfect condition and according to applicable regulations. Be aware of your sur-
roundings and alert to what you are doing to reduce hazards. You should always repair faults which could
influence the safety of the machine.
Personnel operating the machine must read the Owner’s Manual before using – especially all safety in-
formation. This includes people who occasionally work on or operate the machine such as for service and
transport. A clear understanding of how to operate the machine will reduce dangers involved with operating
powered equipment.
You must check that personnel operating the machine are paying attention to safety and hazards and under
observance of this Owner’s Manual. Operating personnel may not have long hair, or wear loose clothing or
jewelry, including rings – these items can catch and be pulled in by moving parts.
Keep all safety and hazard information for the machine complete and in readable condition. If the machine is
altered with regard to its safety or changes its operational behavior, stop operation immediately and report
the malfunction to the responsible department or person.
The SS-4000 may only be operated with brushes approved by SnowEx.
Do not carry out any alteration, addition or rebuilding to the machine which could influence its safe opera-
tion. This especially applies to addition and alteration to safety devices and machine controls, and to welding
work on load-bearing components.
Personal protection equipment must be worn to prevent accidental injury. Observe all safety and hazard
information for the machine.
Rotating brushes cause flying debris, wear safety glasses with side protection.
Wear high-visibility clothing, especially when working around other machines, people and vehicles.
Be aware of and avoid pinch points when assembling and operating. Pinch points can exist around levers
and when putting two parts together (during assembly).
Use barriers and traffic cones when working in areas of pedestrian and vehicle traffic to keep everything at a
safe distance.
Use genuine SnowEx parts for replacement. These meet the specific technical requirements. Observe all
deadlines indicated in the Owner’s Manual for maintenance checks and service
Suitable and adequate mechanic’s equipment is required for performing maintenance and service proce-
dures.
