3.
Stop the engine (motor) whenever you
leave the operating position, before
unclogging the collector/impeller housing
or discharge chute, and when making any
repairs, adjustments or inspections.
4.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the
snow thrower, stop the engine and make
certain the collector/impeller and all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark
plug wire and keep the wire away from the
plug to prevent someone from accidentally
starting the engine
5.
The auger/impeller control lever is a safety
device. Never bypass its operation. Doing
so makes the machine unsafe and may
cause personal injury.
6.
The control levers must operate easily in
both directions and automatically return to
the disengaged position when released.
7.
Never operate the snow thrower without
proper guards, and other safety protective
devices in place and working.
8.
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, odorless, deadly gas.
9.
Do not operate machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
10. Exercise extreme caution when operating
on or crossing gravel surfaces. Stay alert
for hidden hazards or traffic.
11. Exercise caution when changing direction
and while operating on slopes.
12. Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid
discharging towards windows, walls, cars
etc. Thus, avoiding possible property
damage or personal injury caused by a
ricochet.
13. Never direct the discharge toward people
or areas where property damage can occur.
Keep children and others away.
14. Do not overload machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast rate.
15. Never operate this machine without good
visibility or light. Always be sure of your
footing and keep a firm hold on the handles.
Walk, never run.
16. Disengage power to the auger/impeller
when transporting or not in use.
17. Never operate machine at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look down
and behind and use care when backing up.
18. If the machines should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine, disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground it against the
engine. Inspect thoroughly for damage.
Repair any damage before starting and
operating.
19. Disengage all control levers and stop
engine before you leave the operating
position(behind the handles). Wait until the
auger/impeller comes to a complete stop
before unclogging the chute assembly,
making any adjustments, or inspections.
20. Never put your hand in the discharge or
collector openings. Always use the
clean-out tool provided to unclog the
discharge opening. Do not unclog chute
assembly while engine is running. Shut off
engine and remain behind handles until all
moving parts have stopped before
unclogging.
21. Use only attachments and accessories
approved by the manufacturer (e.g. wheel
weights, tire chins, cabs etc.).
22. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
23. If situations occur which are not covered in
