Operation Precautions
DISENGAGE ALL CONTROL LEVERS AND
STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE
OPERATING POSITION.
Wait until the auger/impeller comes to a complete stop
before unclogging the chute assembly, making any
adjustments, or inspections.
1. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially
when operating in reverse.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used. Remove all foreign objects, which could be tripped
over or thrown by the auger/impeller.
3. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation
and while performing an adjustment or repair to protect
your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause serious
injury to the eyes.
4. Operate the equipment with appropriate footware, gloves
and clothing. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get
caught in moving parts.
5. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, 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.
6. The auger and drive controls must be depressed to operate.
Do not override this safety feature. Both control levers
must operate easily and automatically return to the
disengaged position when released.
7. Do not overload the snow thrower by attempting to clear
snow too quickly.
8. Do not operate at high speed on icy or slippery surfaces.
9. Always be sure of your footing especially when driving in
reverse.
10. If the snow thrower should vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine immediately, disconnect the spark plug and inspect
for damage
