RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
4
Objects can be picked up by auger and thrown from chute.
Never throw snow toward people or cars, and never allow
anyone in front of the snow thrower.
•
Be aware of your environment while operating equipment. Running over
items such as, gravel, doormats, newspapers, toys, and rocks hidden
under snow, can all be thrown from chute or jam in the auger.
•
Always be aware of the direction the snow is being thrown. Nearby
pedestrians, pets or property may be harmed by objects being thrown.
•
Familiarize yourself with the area you plan to work. Mark off boundaries of
walkways and driveways to prevent property damage from thrown objects.
•
Take caution when snow throwing in unfamiliar areas. Stay alert for hidden
hazards and traffic.
•
After striking a foreign object, turn engine OFF, wait for moving parts to
cease movement, and check immediately for damage. If damaged, repair
before starting and operating snow thrower.
•
With engine OFF, wait for moving parts to stop and always use a stick to
clear discharge chute.
•
If unit vibrates abnormally, turn engine OFF. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble. See an authorized dealer if necessary for repairs.
DANGER
Rotating gears can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair,
clothing, or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
•
Always operate equipment with all guards in place.
•
Keep hands and feet away from rotating gears.
•
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
•
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could
become caught.
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death.
•
Start and run engine outdoors.
•
Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open.
WARNING
•
Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
•
Remove accumulated combustibles from muffler area and cylinder
area.
•
Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using
equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, brush-covered
unimproved land. The state of California requires this (Section 4442 of
the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar
laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler,
become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch
fire.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
•
Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing
gas cap.
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
•
Do not overfill fuel tank.
•
Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
•
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.
WHEN STARTING ENGINE
•
Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place.
•
Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
•

Transport with fuel tank EMPTY.
WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
•
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that
have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline
vapors.
WARNING
Starting engine creates sparking.
Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.
Explosion and fire could result.
•
If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.
•
Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic
amputation, or laceration.
BEFORE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS
