clear snow across the face of slopes. Keep
all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction. Use a slow speed to avoid stops or
shifts on slopes. Avoid starting or stopping
on a slope. Do not park machine on a slope
unless absolutely necessary. When parking on
a slope, always block the wheels.
Disengage power to the auger/impeller when
transporting or not in use.
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.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside
the discharge chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snow throwers.
Do not unclog chute assembly while engine
is running. Shut off engine and remain behind
handles until all moving parts have stopped
before unclogging. Never put your hand in
the discharge or collector openings. Always
use the clean-out tool provided to unclog the
discharge opening.
