• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are
open.

Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting,
or death.
Engine Safety
• Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine.
• Let the engine adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow.
• Use a grounded three-wire plug-in for all snowthrowers equipped with
electric drive motors or electric starting motors.
DANGER
Safe operation of the snowthrower requires the proper care
and maintenance of the engine. Failure to observe the safety
instructions in this manual will result in death or serious
injury.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while during operation, and while
performing an adjustment or repair.
• 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 snow
thrower. Mark off boundaries of walkways and driveways.
DANGER
Objects can be picked up by auger and thrown from chute.
Never discharge snow toward bystanders or allow anyone in
front of the snowthrower. Failure to observe these safety
instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Thrown Objects
• Whenever cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the snowthrower, make sure the
engine is OFF, spark plug wire is disconnected, and all moving parts have
stopped.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times.
• Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, and other safety
devices in place and working.
• Never leave the snowthrower unattended while engine is running. Always
disengage the auger and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.
• Keep all loose clothing away from the front of the snowthrower and auger.
Scarves, mittens, dangling drawstrings, loose clothes, and pants can quickly
become caught in the rotating device and amputation will occur. Tie up
long hair and remove jewelry.
• Run the machine a few minutes after discharging snow to prevent freeze-up
of the collector/impeller.
• Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is transported
or not in use.
