SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product.
5
Work Area
Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered, dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate snow thrower in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Electrical appliances create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from work area. Be aware that the normal noise of the
machine when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
Electrical Safety
Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not abuse the cord. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Never carry the snow thrower by its cord or
yank the cord to disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
Replace or properly repair damaged cords. If cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, pull
the extension cord from the wall receptacle.
Contact with water while operating the snow thrower can result in electric shock and serious bodily
injury. Do not use the snow thrower in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Do not handle the
plug or the appliance with wet hands or while standing in water.
Extension Cord - WARNING - Only use a UL-rated extension cord for OUTDOOR, all-weather use
(usually orange color). To prevent the extension cord from disconnecting during operation, tie it
around the top right side of the middle frame before connecting it to the snow thrower as shown in
Figure 2 on page 11.
Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cable before inspecting, servicing, repairing, or
cleaning the snow thrower. Any such operation should be performed after revolving parts inside the
snow thrower stop completely.
Do not move or transport the snow thrower when the plug is connected to the power socket and the
switch is turned on.
Personal Safety
Stay alert - Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the snow thrower.
Do not use the machine when tired, ill, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention may result in serious personal injury.
Wear proper clothing - Wearing rubber boots offers additional protection from electric shock. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewelry that may become caught in the machine. Wear protective headgear
to keep hair away from revolving parts of the machine. Safety glasses offer better protection than
everyday eyeglasses.
Moving parts present risks - Keep your face, hair, clothing, hands and feet away from moving parts.
All guards and safety attachments must be installed properly before using the unit. Shut off and
disconnect cord before touching any parts other than the handles and switch.
Surfaces - This snow thrower is intended for use on paved surfaces. Do not use on gravel, stone,
or other unpaved surfaces unless the snow thrower is adjusted for such surfaces according to the
instructions given in the operator’s manual.
Avoid accidental starting - Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in the unit. Do
not carry the snow thrower with your finger on the switch.
Body position - Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Place heels firmly on the ground
and tightly grasp the handle bar. Watch for uneven surfaces and do not overreach. In case you fall
or collide with the snow thrower, inspect the unit for damage. When stepping backwards, be
careful to avoid obstacles beneath your feet or behind you to avoid falling.
Snow thrower Use and Care
Know your snow thrower - Familiarize yourself with the main parts of your snow thrower.
Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn your snow thrower’s applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this machine. Do not use this machine for any
purpose other than the one for which it was designed. Otherwise, it may cause mechanical
defaults, serious damage or personal injury.
Preliminary unit inspection - Thoroughly inspect the unit before use. Make sure all the parts are
secure and installed correctly. If you notice any abnormalities, do not use the machine until it has
been properly repaired. Always perform a test run the first time you use the snow thrower or after
replacing parts to ensure that the unit is functioning properly.
Preliminary area inspection - Clear the area to be plowed before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, which can be thrown by or become entangled in
the snow thrower. Keep the area of operation clear of other people and pets.
Excessive force - The snow thrower was designed to respond at a certain rate for various snow
conditions for optimum safety and performance. Do not force it; keep pressure constant.
Malfunctioning switch - Do not use the snow thrower if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
electrical appliance that cannot be controlled by the switch is not safe to use and must be repaired.
Hitting an object - If the snow thrower accidentally strikes an object, stop the snow thrower; inspect
for damage; repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the snow thrower.
Discharge chute safety - Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, at bystanders, at
vehicles or at windows. Thrown snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the snow
thrower can cause serious damage and personal injury. Do not use your hands to unclog the
discharge chute. Stop the motor before removing debris.
Abnormal operation - If you notice the snow thrower running in an unstable state or hear abnormal
sounds from the engine, stop the machine, disconnect the power immediately, and contact your
original distributor.
Noise control - When using the snow thrower, you must respect local laws and regulations
regarding noise control and environmental protection. To avoid noise disturbance, you should
carefully decide upon an appropriate operation time and consider the surrounding conditions.
When work is completed - Disconnect the snow thrower from the power source when not in use,
when changing accessories, and before performing any maintenance.
Store safely - Store snow thrower indoors in a dry area between uses. Keep in a locked area
where children and unauthorized users cannot gain access. Do not store the machine while it is
still connected to the power source. It may cause damage and injury.
Maintain for safety and longevity - Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other conditions that may affect the unit’s operation. If damaged, repair or replace
the damaged part before use. Use only those replacement parts made for your model. When
replacing any parts, you must strictly observe the instructions and procedures described in this
manual. Special care should be paid to any rubber parts, since these parts may increase the
engine load and decrease its mechanical power if damaged.

MOVING THE MACHINE AND PLOWING THE SNOW
Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and
thrown by the snow thrower, causing serious personal injury.
Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating the snow thrower.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown by the rotor blades.
Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by
surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snow thrower, disconnect the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit
for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.
Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal
noise of the machine when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
Note wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow is not
thrown against the wind (and thus back into your face and back onto the path).
While moving the snow thrower, do not drag the power cable violently or roughly. The snow thrower
should move within the range that the cable can reach.
Do not push the snow thrower with excessive force. You should push the machine gently and
evenly in accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine since this may cause engine damage.
Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt
to operate the snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow thrower is in use,
stop the snow thrower, unplug the extension cord, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts
before restarting or operating the snow thrower. Never force controls that have frozen.
Working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces - To avoid throwing loose surface material along
with the snow, push down on the handle to raise the scraper at the base of the unit above the
pebbles or gravel.
Run the snow thrower for a few minutes to melt away any snow on the snow thrower. Turn the
snow thrower’s power off.
Disconnect the extension cord from the snow thrower.
Examine the extension cord thoroughly for signs of wear or damage. Replace it if it is worn or
damaged.
Examine the snow thrower thoroughly for worn, loose bolts or damaged parts. For repairing or
replacing parts, contact customer service.
Store the extension cord with the snow thrower.
Store the unit in a locked and dry or high and dry place to prevent unauthorized use/damage and
keep out of the reach of children. Store the instruction manual along with unit for future use.
