Safe Handling of Gasoline

To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care 

in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the 

vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when 

gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.  

Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

Use only an approved gasoline container.

a. 

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other 

b. 

sources of ignition.
Never fuel machine indoors. 

c. 

Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is 

d. 

hot or running. 
Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before 

e. 

refueling.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ 

f. 

inch below bottom of filler neck to provide space for 

fuel expansion.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.

g. 

If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and 

h. 

equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5 

minutes before starting the engine.
Never store the machine or fuel container inside 

i. 

where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light 

(e.g. furnace, water heater, space heater, clothes 

dryer etc.). 
Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before 

j. 

storing.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck 

k. 

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place 

containers on the ground away from your vehicle 

before filling.
If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from 

l. 

the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this 

is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a 

trailer with a portable container, rather than from a 

gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel 

m. 

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is 

complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

Operation

Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger/

1. 

impeller housing or chute assembly. Contact with the 

rotating parts can amputate hands and feet. 
The auger/impeller control lever is a safety device. Never 

2. 

bypass its operation. Doing so makes the machine unsafe 

and may cause personal injury. 
The control levers must operate easily in both directions 

3. 

and automatically return to the disengaged position when 

released. 
Never operate with a missing or damaged chute assembly. 

4. 

Keep all safety devices in place and working.

Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. 

5. 

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless 

and deadly gas. 
Do not operate machine while under the influence of 

6. 

alcohol or drugs. 
Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do 

7. 

not touch. Keep children away.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing 

8. 

gravel surfaces. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
Exercise caution when changing direction and while 

9. 

operating on slopes. 

Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge 

10. 

towards windows, walls, cars etc. Thus, avoiding possible 

property damage or personal injury caused by a ricochet. 
Never direct discharge at children, bystanders and pets or 

11. 

allow anyone in front of the machine. 
Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear 

12. 

snow at too fast of a rate.
Never operate this machine without good visibility or light. 

13. 

Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the 

handles. Walk, never run.
Disengage power to the auger/impeller when transporting 

14. 

or not in use.
Never operate machine at high transport speeds on 

15. 

slippery surfaces. Look down and behind and use care 

when backing up. 
If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop 

16. 

the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it 

against the engine. Inspect thoroughly for damage. Repair 

any damage before starting and operating.
Disengage all control levers and stop engine before you 

17. 

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. 
Never put your hand in the discharge or collector 

18. 

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.
Use only attachments and accessories approved by the 

19. 

manufacturer (e.g. wheel weights, tire chains, cabs etc.).
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance 

20. 

is felt, then pull rapidly. Rapid retraction of starter cord 

(kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than 

you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains 

could result.
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use 

21. 

care and good judgment. Contact Customer Support for 

assistance and the name of your nearest servicing dealer.
