Thrown Objects
WARNING
Objects can be picked up by the auger and thrown from the chute. Never discharge
snow toward bystanders or allow anyone in front of the snowthrower. Failure to
observe these safety instructions could result in death or serious injury.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation, and while performing an
adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the
machine.
• Always be aware of the direction the snow is being thrown. Nearby pedestrians, pets,
or property may be harmed by objects being thrown.
• Be aware of your environment while operating the snowthrower. Running over items
such as, gravel, doormats, newspapers, toys, and rocks hidden under snow, can all
be thrown from the chute or jam in the auger.
• Use extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
• Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.
• Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells,
drop-offs, and the like without proper adjustment of the discharge chute angle.
• Familiarize yourself with the area in which you plan to operate the snowthrower. Mark
off boundaries of walkways and driveways.
Children
WARNING
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the unit and the operating activity. Never assume
that children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the area during operation. Children are often attracted to the
equipment. Be mindful of all persons present.
• Be alert and turn the unit off if children enter the area.
• Never allow children to operate the unit.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that
may obscure vision. Children may be present.
Engine Safety
WARNING
Safe operation of the snowthrower requires the proper care and maintenance of
the engine. Failure to observe the safety instructions in this manual could result
in death or serious injury.
• Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine.
• Let the engine adjust to outdoor temperature before starting to clear snow.
• Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer for all units
with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.
• Use a grounded three-wire plug-in for all snowthrowers equipped with electric drive
motors or electric starting motors.
WARNING
Kickback hazard
Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your hand and arm toward
the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
Carbon Monoxide
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death.
• Start and run the engine outdoors.
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area, even if doors and windows are open.
Ignition Source
WARNING
Starting the engine creates sparking.
Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gasses.
Explosion and fire could result.
• If there is natural gas or LP gas leakage in the area, do not start the engine.
• Do not use pressurize starting fluids because their vapors are flammable.
Hot Surfaces
WARNING
Running the engine produces heat. Engine parts, especially the muffler, become
extremely hot.
Failure to observe these safety instructions could result in severe thermal burns
on contact.
• Never touch a hot engine or muffler. Allow muffler, engine cylinder, and fins to cool
before touching.
• Remove debris from muffler area and cylinder area.
• Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using equipment on
forest-covered, grass-covered, or brush-covered unimproved land.
• U.S.A. Models: It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to
use or operate the engine on or near any forest-covered, brush-covered, or
grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester
meeting any applicable local or state laws. Other states or federal areas may have
similar laws.
Maintenance and Storage
WARNING
This snowthrower must be properly maintained to ensure safe operation and
performance. Failure to observe the safety instructions in this manual could result
in death or serious injury.
• When performing any maintenance or repairs on the snowthrower, shut OFF the
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the engine key to prevent
someone from accidently starting the engine.
• Check shear bolts and other hardware at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be
sure the snowthrower is in safe working condition.
• Keep nuts and bolts tight and keep snowthrower in good condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly and make
necessary repairs if they are not functioning properly.
• Components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration. Frequently check
components and replace with recommended parts, when necessary.
• Check control operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.
• Use only factory authorized replacement parts, or equivalent, when making repairs.
• Always comply with factory specifications on all settings and adjustments.
• Only authorized service locations should be utilized for major service and repair
requirements.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the factory, or equivalent, (such
as wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs).
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except when
specifically recommended by the factory).
• Always refer to the operator's manual for important details if the snowthrower is to be
stored for an extended period of time.
