operate your snow thrower and how to stop the unit and
disengage the controls quickly.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment.
• Never allow adults to operate the equipment without
proper instruction.

small children, and pets.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used and remove all door mats, sleds, boards, wires
and other foreign objects.

winter outer garments.
• Wear substantial footwear which will protect feet and
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
• Check fuel before starting the engine. Do not remove the

the wire from the spark plug and then thoroughly inspect
the snow thrower for damage. Repair any damage before
restarting and operating the snow thrower.

engine immediately and check for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
• Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the snow thrower or making

unattended. Disengage the attachment clutch lever or
switch, lower the snow thrower, shift into neutral, set the
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key.
• When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain all
moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire and keep it away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.
• Do not run engine indoors except when transporting the
snow thrower in or out of the building. Open the outside
doors. Exhaust fumes are dangerous.

extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

automobiles, window wells, drop offs etc. without proper
adjustment of the snow thrower discharge angle.
• Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in
front of the snow thrower.
• Never run the snow thrower into material at high
speeds.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Never operate the machine at high transport speed
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
backing.
• Watch for traffi c and stay alert when crossing or operating
near roadways.
