∙ Store fuel in containers specically designed for

this purpose.

∙ Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while doing

this operation.

∙ Add fuel before starting the engine.

Instruction manual

WARNING! Exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide, a
colourless and odourless gas.
Breathing exhaust can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
Provide an adequate ventilation to
keep exhaust gas level as low as
possible.

∙ Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank

inside a building where fumes can reach an open ame
or spark.

∙ To reduce re hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of

vegetative material and excessive grease.

∙ The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite

some materials. Keep ammable materials away from
the device.

∙ The mufer becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be
careful not to touch the mufer while it is hot. Let the
engine cool before storing the machine indoors.

∙ Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before starting

the machine.

WARNING! During the use of certain
gasoline tools, some dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer,
may occur.

Some of these chemicals are: lead from lead based

paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber and other dangerous

products. If dust is present, your risk from these

exposures varies, depending on how often you do this

type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, any
time you do pulverulent operations, work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially

designed to lter out microscopic particles.

∙ If the machine strikes a foreign body, examine the
device for signs of damage and carry out any necessary

repairs before restarting and continuing to work.

∙ If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, switch

off the motor and check for the cause immediately.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

∙ Always turn off the machine and wait until the
machine completely stops whenever you leave
the machine, before carrying out maintenance,
before changing accessories, checking, cleaning,

troubleshooting or working on the machine.

∙ It is forbidden to move or modify any of the internal

parts of the machine.

Specic safety rules

CAUTION! This machine is capable
of amputating hands and feet and
throwing objects. Failure to observe
the following safety instruction could
result in serious injury or death.

Training

∙ Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury.

Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge of

material toward roads and bystanders.

∙ Keep bystanders, helpers and pets at least 20
meters from the machine while it is in operation. Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.

∙ Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling,

especially when operating in reverse mode.

Preparation

∙ Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment

is to be used. Remove all doormats, newspapers, sleds,

wires and other foreign objects, which could be tripped

over or thrown by the auger.

∙ Disengage all clutch levers before starting the

engine.

Operation

∙ Never attempt to make any adjustments

while engine is running, except where specically
recommended in the operator’s manual.

∙ Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor

temperature before starting to clear snow.

∙ Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in

the auger housing or chute assembly. Contact with the
rotating parts can amputate hands and feet.

∙ The auger control is a safety device. Never bypass
its operation. Doing so makes the machine unsafe and
may cause personal injury.

∙ The controls must operate easily in both directions
and automatically return to the disengaged position

when released.

∙ Never operate with a missing or damaged chute

assembly. Keep all safety devices in place and working.

∙ Exercise extreme caution when operating on or

crossing gravel surface. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or trafc.

∙ Exercise caution when changing direction and

while operating on slopes.

∙ Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge

towards windows, walls, cars etc. Thus avoiding

possible property damage or personal injuiry caused by

a ricochet.
