Safety Rules & Information
GENERAL OPERATION
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the unit before starting.
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the unit (local regulations can restrict operator age).
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people. Stop unit if anyone enters the area.
• Always look down and behind before and while trav­elling in reverse.
• Be aware of the discharge direction and do not point it at anyone. Do not point the discharge at glass enclosures, automobiles, or windows.
• Disengage all clutches (release drive and auger con­trol levers) before starting the engine.
• Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disen­gage the auger and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.
• Stop engine before unclogging chute.
• Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
• Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit into a trailer or truck.
• Keep in mind the operator is responsible for acci­dents occurring to other people or property.
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.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip­over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it.
Do
• Travel up and down slopes, not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the unit. Snow can hide obstacles.
• Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes. Choose a low gear so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling downhill.
Do Not
• Do not start or stop on a slope.
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
• Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embank­ments. The unit could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
• Do not operate on wet surfaces. Reduced traction could cause sliding.
• Do not shift to neutral and coast down hills.
WARNING
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent (10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in 20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.
Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. Travel UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face, use caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.
• 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.
• All operators should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction.
• Always wear substantial footwear and appropriate winter clothing. Wear footwear that improves traction on slippery slopes. DO NOT wear long scarves or loose clothing that could become entangled in mov­ing parts.
• Before using, always visually check that all hardware is present, intact, and secure. Replace worn or dam­aged parts.
• Never operate the machine with defective guards or without safety protective devises in place.
• Stop engine before: refuelling, removing an attach­ment, making adjustments (unless the adjustment can be made from the operator’s position).
• If equipped, adjust skid shoe height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
• Do not touch snowthrower parts which may be hot from operation. Allow such parts to cool before attempting to service the unit.

Safety Rules
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.
• Keep children out of the area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
• Before and during reverse operation, look behind and down for small children.
• Never allow children to operate the unit.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
EMISSIONS
• Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
• Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index information on the engine emissions label.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. a) Use only an approved container. b) Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
c) Never refuel the unit indoors.
• 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.
• Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps securely.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
• 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 nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is com­plete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi­ately.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.
• Never run a unit in an enclosed area.
• Keep nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in good condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly and make necessary repairs if they are not functioning properly.
• Keep unit free of debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running unless specified otherwise in the engine manufacturer’s manual.
• Components are subject to wear, damage, and dete­rioration. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when nec­essary.
• Check control operation frequently. Adjust and ser­vice as required.
• Use only factory authorized replacement parts when making repairs.
• Always comply with factory specifications on all set­tings and adjustments.
• Only authorized service locations should be utilized for major service and repair requirements.
• Never attempt to make major repairs on this unit unless you have been properly trained. Improper ser­vice procedures can result in hazardous operation, equipment damage and voiding of manufacturer’s warranty.
• Do not change engine governor settings or over­speed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal injury.
• Disengage auger and traction, stop the engine, remove the key, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) before: clearing blockages and chutes, per­forming service work, striking an object, or if the unit vibrates abnormally. After striking an object, inspect the machine for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment.
