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)
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 com-
plete. 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 immediate-
ly.
1740274
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.
