Safe Operation Practices for Snow Throwers

IMPORTANT: 

 This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following 

safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

SAFETY RULES

WARNING: This  snow  thrower  is  for 
use on sidewalks, driveways and other 
ground level surfaces.  Caution should 
be exercised while using on sloping 
surfaces.  Do not use snow thrower on 
surfaces above ground level such as 
roofs of residences, garages, porch es 
or other such structures or buildings.

WARNING: Snow throwers have ex-
 posed rotating parts, which can cause 
severe injury from contact, or from ma-
terial thrown from the discharge chute.  
Keep the area of operation clear of all 
persons, small children and pets at all 
times including startup.

WARNING: Always disconnect spark 
plug wire and place it where it can not 
con tact plug in order to pre vent ac ci -
den tal start ing when setting up, trans-
 port ing, ad just ing or making re pairs.

Look for this symbol to point out im-
 por tant safety precautions.  It means
CAUTION!!!  BE COME ALERT!!!  YOUR 
SAFE TY IS IN VOLVED.

•     Do not operate the equipment without wearing ad e -

quate winter outer garments. Avoid loose, dangling 
clothing, such as scarves, which can get caught in 
rotating parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing 
on slippery surfaces.

•      Handle fuel with care; it is highly fl ammable.

       - 

Never smoke while refueling.

       - 

Use an approved fuel container.

            - 

Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel to a running 
engine (motor) or hot engine (motor). 

       - 

Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fi ll 
fuel tank indoors.

      - 

Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled 
fuel.

      - 

Never store fuel or snow thrower with fuel in the 
tank inside of a building where fumes may reach 
an open fl ame or spark.

            - 

Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space 
for expansion as the heat of the engine (motor) 
and/or sun cause fuel to expand.

STATIC ELECTRICITY HAZARD - 

       - 

Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck 
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place 
con tain ers on the ground, away from your vehicle 
before fi lling.

       - 

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment 
from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. 
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment 
on a trailer with a portable container, rather than 
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

       - 

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel 
tankopening at all times, until re fu el ing is complete. 
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

      - 

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing im-
 me di ate ly.  

•     For all units with electric starting motors use electric 

starting ex ten sion cords certifi ed CSA/UL. Use only 
with a receptacle that has been installed in accordance 
with local inspection authorities.

•      If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface, 

use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted 
to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.

•     Never attempt to make any ad 

just ments while the 

engine (motor) is running (except when specifi cally 
rec om mend ed by manufacturer).

•      Let engine (motor) and snow thrower adjust to outdoor 

temperatures before starting to clear snow.

•      Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during op-

eration or while performing an adjustment or repair to 
protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown 
from the snow thrower.

OPERATION

•      Do not operate this machine if you are under the infl u-

ence of alcohol or taking drugs or other medication 
which can cause drowsiness or affect your ability to 
operate this ma chine.

•         Do not use this machine if you are mentally or phys i cal ly 

unable to operate this machine safely.

TRAINING

•     Read the operating and service instruction manual 

care ful ly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and 
the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the 
unit and disengage the controls quickly.

•      Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never 

allow adults to operate the equipment without proper 
instruction.

•     Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, par-

 tic u lar ly small children and pets.

•      Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially 

when operating in reverse.

PREPARATION

•      Remove foreign objects.  Thoroughly inspect the area 

where the equip ment is to be used and remove all 
doormats, sleds, boards, wires, rocks & landscaping.

•     Disengage all clutches before starting engine (mo-

 tor).

CAUTION: Muffl er and other engine 
parts become extremely hot during 
operation and remain hot after engine 
has stopped. To avoid severe burns on 
contact, stay away from these areas.

its con 

stit u ents, and certain vehicle 

com po nents contain or emit chem 

i-
