SAFETY RULES

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.

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 any- one 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 road-

ways.

• 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.

• 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 prac- tical instruction.

Always wear substantial footwear and appropriate winter clothing. Wear foot-ware 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, in-tact, and secure. Replace worn or damaged parts.

Never operate the machine with defective guards, or with- out 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).

Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.

Adjust skid shoe height to clear gravel or crushed rock sur- faces.

Do not touch snowthrower parts which may be hot from operation. Allow such parts to cool before attempting to

service the unit.

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. Always use a clean out tool, not your hands, 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.

SLOPE OPERATION

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.

When operating on slopes use additional wheel weights or counterweights. See your dealer to determine which weights are available and appropriate for your unit.

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.

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. Ifyou cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,do not operate on it.

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.

See your authorized dealer for recommendations counter- weights to improve stability.

• Travel up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could over- turn 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 down-

hill.

Do Not

Do not start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction, disen-

gage the auger and proceed slowly straight down the 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.
