• Disengage power to the augers when the product is transported or not in use.

• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the product (such as wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs).

• Never operate the product without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

• Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.

• Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine (motor).

• Do not operate the product without wearing adequate winter garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.

• Use an approved fuel container.

• Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never

fill fuel tank indoors.

• 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.

• 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 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

tank or container opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lockopen device.

• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up

spilled fuel.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing

immediately.

• Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.

• Adjust the auger housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.

• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is running (except when specifically recommended by the manufacturer).

• 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.

Always use the correct personal protective equipment when you operate the product. This includes, at minimum, sturdy footwear, eye protection and hearing protection. Personal protective equipment does not erase the risk of injury but may decrease the grade of injury if an accident occurs.

• Always wear safety glasses or eye protection while you operate the product or do maintenance or repairs.

• Always wear appropriate winter garments when you operate the product.

• Always use heavy-duty slip-resistant boots with good ankle support while you operate the product.

• Do not wear loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts.

• Use approved protective gloves, if necessary. For example, when attaching, examining or cleaning the blade.

• Always use approved ear protection while you operate the product. Noise for a long period can cause noise-induced hearing loss.

• Make sure that you regularly do the maintenance to the product.

• The life of the product increases.

• The risk of accidents decreases.

Let an approved dealer or an approved service center regularly examine the product to do adjustments or repairs.

• Do not use a product with damaged protective equipment. If the product is damaged, speak to an approved service center.

The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.

Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level and the risk of fire.

Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is attached correctly and not damaged.

The muffler becomes very hot
