DANGER

Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from rotating parts. 
Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, 
clothing, or accessories.

Failure to observe these safety instructions will result in 
traumatic amputation or severe laceration.

•   Whenever cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the 

snowthrower, make sure the engine is OFF, spark 
plug wire is disconnected, and all moving parts have 
stopped.

•   Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. 

Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

•   Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, 

and other safety devices in place and working.

•   Never leave the snowthrower unattended while engine 

is running. Always disengage the auger and traction 
controls, stop engine, and remove keys.

•   Keep all loose clothing away from the front of the 

snowthrower and auger. Scarves, mittens, dangling 
drawstrings, loose clothes, and pants can quickly 
become caught in the rotating device and amputation 
will occur. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

•   Run the machine a few minutes after discharging snow 

to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.

•   Disengage power to the collector/impeller when 

snowthrower is transported or not in use.

 

 

 

 

DANGER

The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw 
snow. Never clear or unclog the discharge chute with your 
hands. Fingers can quickly become caught in the impeller. 
Always use a clean-out tool. 

Failure to observe these safety instructions will result in 
traumatic amputation or severe laceration.
