WARNING
This unit is a “single-stage” snowthrower.
The auger feeds the snow back into the housing and
throws the snow out the discharge chute. If bodily
contact is made with the auger or impeller when they
are rotating, severe personal injury will occur.
To avoid injury, keep others and yourself away from
the auger and the discharge chute whenever the
engine is running. Read and follow all of the safety
rules and warnings in this manual.
GENERAL
• Read the Operator’s Manual carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with all controls and proper equipment use.
• Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not
allow adults to operate it without proper instruction.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets.
• Never discharge material toward any person or pet.
• Make sure:
a. snowthrower is in good operating condition;
b. all safety devices and shields are in place and
working;
c. all adjustments are correct.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, do not put your hands into
the auger housing or discharge chute. If auger stalls
or chute becomes plugged, use the following procedure to remove objects or clear the chute:
1. Release the Auger Control.
2. Shut off the engine.
3. Remove the Engine Key.
4. Wait for moving parts to stop.
5. Use a narrow board to remove foreign objects
and clear the chute or auger. Never put your
hands into the auger or discharge chute.
6. If servicing is needed, remove cover and disconnect spark plug wire.
PREPARATION
• Never attempt to make any adjustment while engine
is running.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the snowthrower
is to be used and remove all objects such as door
mats, sleds, boards, wires and sticks.
• Disengage all clutches (release Auger Control lever)
before starting engine.
• Do not operate snowthrower without wearing proper
winter clothing. Wear footwear which improves footing on slippery surfaces.
• Handle gasoline with care - it is highly flammable.
a. Use approved gasoline container.
b. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add gasoline to
a running or hot engine.
c. Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
d. Wipe up spilled gasoline.
