Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
•
Use an approved fuel container.
•
Never add fuel to a running engine or
hot engine.
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme
care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed with a
plastic liner. Always place containers
on the ground, away from your
vehicle, before filling.
•
When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is
not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a trailer with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
•
Keep the nozzle in contact with the
rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times, until refueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
•
Replace gasoline cap securely and
wipe up spilled fuel.
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change
clothing immediately.
Adjust the auger/impeller housing height to
clear gravel or crushed rock surface.
Never attempt to make any adjustments
while the engine (motor) is running (except
when specifically recommended by
manufacturer).
Always allow unit and engine to adjust to
outdoor temperature before clearing snow.
Operation
Never leave a running unit unattended.
Always shut off engine before leaving unit.
Always remove key to prevent unauthorized
use.
Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
Moving and/or rotating parts can cut off body
parts such as fingers or a hand. Always
keep hands, feet and clothing away from all
rotating parts during operation.
Always keep hands away from all pinch
points.
Do not touch unit parts which might be hot
from operation. Allow parts to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust or service.
Thrown objects can cause injury. Check for
weak spots on docks, ramps or floors. Avoid
uneven work areas and rough terrain. Stay
alert for hidden hazards.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on
or crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
Adjust skid shoes so scraper blade does not
contact gravel. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or traffic.
After striking a foreign object, stop the
engine (motor), remove the wire from the
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the snow
thrower for any damage, and repair the
damage before restarting and operating the
snow thrower.
If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine (motor) and check
immediately for the cause.
Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave
the operating position, before unclogging the
auger/impeller housing or discharge guide,
and when making any repairs, adjustments
or inspections.
When leaving the machine unattended,
disengage the power take-off, lower the
attachment, set the parking brake, stop the
engine and remove the key.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the
snow thrower, make certain the
auger/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
machine.
Do not run the engine (motor) indoors,
except when starting the engine and for
transporting the snow thrower in or out of the
building. Open the outside doors; exhaust
fumes are dangerous.
Never operate the snow thrower without
proper guards and other safety protective
devices in place.
Never direct the discharge toward people or
areas where property damage can occur
from thrown objects. Keep children and
others away.
Do not overload the machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
Slow down and turn corners slowly.
Never operate the machine at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind
and use care when backing.
