• Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator, or
bystanders with ejected snow. Stay clear of the snow discharge
chute while the engine is running.
• Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation to
avoid injury from flying debris and contact with the snow thrower.
• Do not use the snow thrower to remove snow from a roof.
• To avoid overturning, be careful when changing the direction of the
snow thrower while operating on a slope.
• The snow thrower may overturn on steep slopes if left unattended,
causing injury to the operator or bystanders.
• Do not use the snow thrower on a slope of more than 10° (18%).
• The maximum safe grade angle shown is for reference purposes only.
To avoid tipping the snow thrower over, stay off slopes too steep for
safe operation. The risk of snow thrower upset is even higher when
the surface is icy, wet or uneven.
• Before starting the engine, check that the snow thrower is not
damaged and is in good condition. For your safety and safety of oth-
ers, exercise extreme care when using the snow thrower up or down
a hill.
• If the snow discharge chute becomes clogged, stop the engine and
use a snow drop bar or a wooden stick to unclog it.
Never put your hand into the snow discharge chute while the engine
is running; serious personal injury could result.
