Safety Rules & Information
TP-600-3606-02-LW-UV
TRAINING
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine 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 instruction.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, partic-
ularly 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 doormat, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.
2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
starting engine (motor).
3. Do not operate the equipment without wearing ade-
quate winter outer garments. Wear footwear that will
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
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 con-
tainers 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
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dis-
penser nozzle.
(f) Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times, until refueling is
complete. 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 imme-
diately.
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
recommended by the manufacturer).
8. Let engine (motor) and machine adjust to outdoor
temperatures before starting to clear snow.
9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during
operation or while performing an adjustment or repair
to protect eye 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 hazards 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 the
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
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the
operating position, before unclogging the
collector/impeller housing or discharge guide, and
when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspec-
tions.
6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting make certain
the collector/impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep
the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.
7. Do not run the engine indoors except for starting the
engine or for transporting the snowthrower in or out of
the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes
are dangerous.
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 operating in reverse.
13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when
snowthrower is transported or not in use.
14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer of the snowthrower (such as wheel
weights, counterweights, or cabs).
15. Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a
firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run.
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
17. Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclo-
sures, automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, and the
like without proper adjustment of the discharge angle.
18. Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone
in front of the unit.
19. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disen-
gage the auger and traction controls, stop engine,
and remove keys.
