Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of chil-
dren. Children are often attracted to the unit and the operating activity. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the area and under the watchful care of another
responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn off if children enter the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the unit.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may obscure vision.
Clearing A Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the
most common cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. Never use
your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean out tool, not your hands.
Service, Maintenance And Storage
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tight-
ness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where
ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, or
clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details if the snow-
thrower is to be stored for an extended period.

−
up of the collector/impeller.

chine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
