Operation
1.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the
auger/impeller housing or chute assembly. Contact
with the rotating parts can amputate hands and
feet.
2.
The auger/impeller control lever is a safety device.
Never bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
machine unsafe and may cause personal injury.
3.
The control levers must operate easily in both
directions and automatically return to the
disengaged position when released.
4.
Never operate with a missing or damaged chute
assembly. Keep all safety devices in place and
working.
5.
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
6.
Do not operate machine while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
7.
Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a
burn. Do not touch.
8.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel surfaces. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.
9.
Exercise caution when changing direction and
while operating on slopes.
10. Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge
towards windows, walls, cars etc. Thus, avoiding
possible property damage or personal injury
caused by a ricochet.
11. Never direct discharge at children, bystanders and
pets or allow anyone in front of the machine.
12. Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast of a rate.
13. Never operate this machine without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing and keep a
firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run.
14. Disengage power to the auger/impeller when
transporting or not in use.
15. Never operate machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Look down and behind and use
care when backing up.
16. If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground it against the engine. Inspect thoroughly for
damage. Repair any damage before starting and
operating.
17. Disengage all control levers and stop engine before
you leave the operating position (behind the
handles). Wait until the auger/impeller comes to a
complete stop before unclogging the chute
assembly, making any adjustments, or inspections.
18. Never put your hand in the discharge or collector
openings. Always use the clean-out tool provided to
unclog the discharge opening. Do not unclog chute
assembly while engine is running. Shut off engine
and remain behind handles until all moving parts
have stopped before unclogging.

Maintenance & Storage
1.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly. Refer to the
maintenance and adjustment sections of this
manual.
2.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting machine
disengage all control levers and stop the engine.
Wait until the auger/impeller come to a complete
stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground

Check controls periodically to verify they engage
and disengage properly and adjust, if necessary.
Refer to the adjustment section in this operator’s
manual for instructions.
7.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
8.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for
gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
