Warnings regarding preparation and use
•
Always carefully inspect the area where the show thrower is to be used. Remove all objects (e.g.:
doormat, newspapers, stones and other foreign objects) that could be thrown by the auger/impeller or
cause the operator to trip.
•
Thrown objects can cause serious injury to the eyes and exposed body. Always wear safety glasses or
eye shields during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair.
•
Always operate wearing adequate winter outer garments. Do not wear jewelry, long scarves or other
loose clothing, which could become entangled in moving parts. Wear footwear that provides sure
footing.
•
Adjust collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces. Do not attempt to make any
adjustments while engine is running, except if specifically recommended in this Operator’s manual.
•
Before starting the engine, disengage all clutch levers.
•
Let the engine adjust to the outdoor temperature before starting to clear snow.
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive which may result in serious injury or
property damage. Use extreme care when handling gasoline, avoid spilling gasoline on yourself or
your clothes. Wash your skin and change your clothes immediately if gasoline spills on them.
•
