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.
12.Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when operat-
ing in reverse.
