IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence control to
minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with such
controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator presence
control under any circumstances.
Training
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in
the manuals before operating this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with
the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop
the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to
operate the equipment without proper instruction.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small
children, and pets.
4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating
in reverse.
Preparation
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the
engine (motor).
3. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter outer
garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery
surfaces. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving
parts.
4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
a. Use an approved fuel container.
b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank
indoors. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
d. 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.
e. 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 on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
f. Keep 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.
g. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
h. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
5. Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the
manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors or electric
starting motors.
6. Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surfaces.
7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is
running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).
8. Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures
before starting to clear snow.
9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while
performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign
objects that may be thrown from the machine.
Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of
the discharge opening at all times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel
drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the
wire from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors,
thoroughly inspect snowthrower for any damage, and repair the
damage before restarting and operating the snowthrower.
4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor)
and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning
of trouble.
5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position,
before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute
and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/
impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark
plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and
for transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the
outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CARBON
MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not attempt
to clear steep slopes.
9. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or
other safety protective devices in place and working.
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property
damage can occur. Keep children and others away.
11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at
too fast a rate.
12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery
surfaces. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse.
13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is
transported or not in use.
14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer
of the snowthrower (such as cabs, tire chains, etc.).
15. Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light.
Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles.
Walk, never run.
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
