4

1740274

WARNING: This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.  Read these safety

rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe per-

sonal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment.  The triangle       in text

signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers

As Recommended By: American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

IMPORTANT: 

Safety standards require operator presence

controls 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 circum-

stances.

Training

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the ma-

chine 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 in-

struction.

3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particular-

ly 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 start-

ing 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 porta-

ble 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 com-

plete.  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 immediate-

ly.

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 recom-

mended 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 oper-

ation or while performing an adjustment or repair to pro-

tect 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 haz-

ards 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 en-

gine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibra-

tion is generally a warning of trouble.

5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operat-

ing position, before unclogging the collector/impeller hous-

ing 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. Dis-

connect 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 ODOR-

LESS 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.
