SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS.
* Before operating the snowthrower, inspect the area in which you are going to clear
snow. Remove debris and other obstacles the snowthrower might strike or throw,
as that may cause injury or damage to the snowthrower.
* Inspect the snowthrower before operating it. Repair any damage and correct any
malfunction before operation. If you hit an obstacle while operating the snow-
thrower, stop the engine immediately, and check for damage. Damaged equipment
may increase the possibility of injury during operation.
* Do not use the snowthrower when visibility. is poor. Under conditions of poor
visibility, there is a greater risk of striking an obstacle or causing injury.
* Never use the snowthrower to clear snow from a gravel road or driveway, as rocks
may be picked up and thrown. They may cause injury to bystanders.
3
Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator, bystanders, windows,
and other objects with thrown snow. Stay clear of the snow discharge chute while
the engine is running.
Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation to avoid injury
from flying debris and contact with the snowthrower.
To avoid overturning, be careful when changing the direction of the snowthrower
while operating it on a slope. Do not use the snowthrower to remove snow from
roofs. The snowthrower may overturn on steep slopes if left unattended, causing
injury to the operator or bystanders.
Know how to stop the snowthrower quickly,and understand theoperation of all
controls.
* Never permit anyone to operate the snowthrower without proper instruction.
If people or pets suddenly appear in front of the snowthrower while it is in operation, immediately release the auger clutch lever to stop the snowthrower and avoid
possible injury from rotating auger blades.
* If the snow discharge chute becomes clogged, stop the engine and use a wooden
stick to unclog it. Never put your hand into the snow discharge chute while the
engine is running; serious personal injury could result.
STOP ENGINE
* Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks where the snowthrower is refueled or where
gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not
overfill the fuel tank, and make sure the filler cap is closed securely after refueling.
* Never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide; exposure may cause loss of consciousness and may
lead to death.
* The muffler becomes very hot during operation, and remains hot for a while after
stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the
engine cool before storing the snowthrower indoors.
NOTE: While operating the snowthrower, hold the handle firmly, and walk, don’t
run. Wear suitable winter boots that resist slipping.
