•
Wipe off gasoline that spills on the engine and snow thrower body. Move machine to another location
and wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
•
Always replace gasoline cap and tighten securely. Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before
storing.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light
(e.g.: furnace, water, heater, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).
•
Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Keep all safety devices in place and working. Do not operate with a missing or damaged chute
assembly. Bypassing the auger/impeller control makes the snow thrower unsafe and may cause
personal injury.
•
When manually starting the engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly. Rapid
retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm towards engine faster than you can let
go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
•
Ensure the controls operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged
position when released.
•
Contact with the rotating parts can amputate hands and feet. Do not put hands or feet near rotating
parts, in the auger/impeller housing or chute assembly.
•
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Always have the show
thrower outdoors, or ventilated area, when running the engine.
•
Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch these parts.
•
Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge towards people or property (e.g.: windows, cars
etc.). Do not direct discharge at children, bystanders and pets or allow anyone in front of the machine.
•
Exercise caution when changing direction, operating on slopes or crossing gravel surface. Always look
for hidden obstacles or hazards.
•
Only operate the snow thrower when there is good visibility or light. Always watch your footing and
keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk, do not run!
•
Do not operate the snow thrower at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces.
•
Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast of a rate.
