WARNING
This snowthrower is only as safe as the operator. If it is
misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous.
Remember you are responsible for your safety and those
around you.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, par-
ticularly small children and pets.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the snowthrower
will be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.
• Do not operate the snowthrower without wearing ade-
quate winter clothing.
• Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery sur-
faces.
• Use caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when
operating the snowthrower in reverse.
• Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handles.
• Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Use
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow too quickly.
• Never operate the snowthrower at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind the
snowthrower and use care when operating in reverse.
• Do not use the snowthrower on surfaces above ground
level such as roofs of residences, garages, porches, or
other such structures or buildings.
• Operators should evaluate their ability to operate the
snowthrower safely enough to protect themselves and
others from injury.
• The snowthrower is intended to remove snow only. Do
not use the snowthrower for any other purpose.
• Do not carry passengers.
• After striking a foreign object, shut OFF the engine,
disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly
inspect the snowthrower for any damage, and repair
the damage before restarting and operating the
snowthrower.
• If the snowthrower vibrates abnormally, shut OFF the
engine. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. See
an authorized dealer if necessary for repairs.
• For models equipped with electric starting motors, dis-
connect the power cord after the engine starts.
WARNING
Damaged or ungrounded power cords could cause electric
shock.
Electric shock could cause severe burns or death.
When Using the Electric Starter
• The power cord must be properly grounded at all
times.
• Use only a three-conductor power cord properly
grounded to the power source.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified person to avoid a hazard.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your
hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.
When starting the engine
• Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
Before operating your unit, read the safety decals. Compare
Figure 1 with the table below. The cautions and warnings are
for your safety. To avoid a personal injury or damage to the
unit, understand and follow all the safety decals.
