6. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during

operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine.

7. Adjust both skids so auger housing clears gravel

or crushed rock surfaces.

8. Before starting the engine, ensure auger drive

control and traction (wheel drive) control are in disengaged position.

running, with the exception of carburetor adjustments.

19. Never direct discharge of snow or operate

snowthrower near bystanders, glass enclosures, automobiles and trucks, window wells or a drop–off without proper adjustment of the snow chute and deflector angle.

20. Clear snow from slopes by going up and down,

never across the face. Use caution when changing directions. Use lower gear when operating on slopes. Never clear snow from steep slopes.
