fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
(d) Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place con- tainers on the ground, away from your vehicle, before filling.
(e) 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 on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dis- penser nozzle. (f) Keep 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 lock-open device.
(g) Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled
fuel.
(h) Iffuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing imme-
diately.
5. Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by
the manufacturer for all units with electric drive
motors or electric starting motors.
6. Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or
crushed rock surfaces.
7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is running (except when specifically recommended by the manufacturer).
8. Let engine (motor) and machine adjust to outdoor
temperatures before starting to clear snow.
9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during
operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eye from foreign objects that may be
thrown from the machine.
OPERATION
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor),
remove the wire from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect the snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowthrower.
4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge guide, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspec-
tions.
6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting make certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
7. Do not run the engine indoors except for starting the engine or for transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.
9. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards plates, or other safety protective devices in place and working.
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep children and others away.
11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse.
13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is transported or not in use.
14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snowthrower (such as wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs).
15. Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run.
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
17. Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclo- sures, automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, and the
like without proper adjustment of the discharge angle.
18. Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone
in front of the unit.
19. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disen- gage the auger and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.
20. Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Safety Rules
21. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for acci- dents occurring to other people or property.
22. 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.
23. DO NOT wear long scarves or loose clothing that could become entangled in moving parts.
24. Snow can hide obstacles. Make sure to remove all obstacles from the area to be cleared.
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.
1. Keep children out of the area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the unit.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
vision.
CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the dis- charge chute is the most common cause of injury associ- ated with snowthrowers. Never use your hand 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.
SERVICE, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent inter- vals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is
in safe working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water and spacer heaters, or clothes dry- ers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3. Always refer to the operator's manual for important
details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an
extended period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
6. 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.
7. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling prac-
tices when refueling the unit after transportation or
storage.
8. Always follow the engine manual instructions for stor- age preparations before storing the unit for both short and long term periods.
9. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to
service.
10. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.
11. Keep nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in
good condition.
12. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly and make necessary repairs if they are not functioning properly.
13.Components are subject to wear, damage, and dete- rioration. Frequently check components and replace
with manufacturer's recommended parts, when nec- essary.
14.Check control operation frequently. Adjust and ser-
vice as required.
15. Use only factory authorized replacement parts when making repairs.
16.Always comply with factory specifications on all set-
tings and adjustments.
17.Only authorized service locations should be utilized

Technical Information
Power Ratings The power ratings for an individual engine model are initiallydeveloped by starting with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the wide array of products on which our engines are placed, and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating
the equipment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when used in a
piece of power equipment (actual "on-site" power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not lim- ited to, the following: differences in altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, max- imum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of the particular piece of power equip- ment, the manner in which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction and clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may also be adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized in similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily match
the values derived using the foregoing codes.
Safety Rules & information
SAFETY DECALS
Safety warning decals are placed at strategic locations on the snowthrower as a constant reminder to the opera- tor of the most important safety precautions. All warning, caution and instructional messages on your snowthrow- er should be carefully read and obeyed. If any of these decals are lost or damaged, replace them at once. They can be purchased from your local dealer.
