RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING: This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle 
in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.
Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers
As Recommended By: American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence controls to minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator presence control under any circumstances.
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, particularly 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 doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
2.Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine (motor).
3.Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts.
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 containers 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 dispenser 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 immediately.
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 manufacturer).
8.Let engine (motor) and snowthrower 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 eyes 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 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 chute and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
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 spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
7.Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CARBON MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
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.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
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 cabs, tire chains, etc..).
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 enclosures, automobiles, window wells, drop−offs, and the like without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle.
18.Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front of the unit.
19.Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disengage the auger and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.
20.Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
21.Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to other people or property.
22.Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of power equipment− related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the unit safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury.
23.DO NOT wear long scarves or loose clothing that could become entangled in moving parts.
24. Snow can hide obstacles. Make sure to remove all obstacles from the area to be cleared.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the operating activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
1.Keep children out of the area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.
2.Be alert and turn off if children enter the area.
3.Never allow children to operate the unit.
4.Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Clearing A Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1.SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.
2.Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
3.Always use a clean out tool, not your hands.
Service, Maintenance And Storage
1.Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
2.Never store the machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
3.Always refer to operator’s manual for important details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an extended period.
4.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.
5.Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to prevent freeze−up of the collector/impeller.
6.If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
7.Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.
8.Always follow the engine’s manual instructions for storage preparations before storing the unit for both short and long term periods,
9.Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.
10.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.
11.Keep nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in good condition.
12.Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly and make necessary repairs if they are not functioning properly.
