Safety
Models 38517 and 38518 meet or exceed the B71.3
specifications of the American National Standards
Institute in effect at the time of production.
To ensure maximum safety and best performance, and
to gain knowledge of the product, it is essential that you
and any other operator of the snowthrower read and
understand the contents of this manual before the
engine is ever started.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you
to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
Improperly using or maintaining this snowthrower
could result in injury or death. To reduce this potential,
comply with the following safety instructions.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Preparation
• Thoroughly inspect the area where you will use the
snowthrower. Remove all doormats, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.
• Release the control bar to disengage the rotor blades
before starting the engine.
• Do not operate the snowthrower without wearing
adequate winter garments. Wear footwear that will
improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
– Use an approved fuel container.
– Never add fuel to a running or hot engine.
– Fill the fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never
fill the fuel tank indoors.
– Replace the fuel tank cap securely and wipe up any
spilled fuel.
• Use only the power cord supplied with the snowthrower
and a receptacle appropriate for use with the power cord
for electric-start motors.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine is running, except where specifically
recommended by Toro.
• Let the engine and the snowthrower adjust to the
outdoor temperature before starting to clear snow.
• Operating any powered machine can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating, adjusting, or
repairing the snowthrower.
Operation
Safe Operating Practices
The following instructions have been adapted from the
ANSI/OPEI B71.3–1995 standard and the ISO 8437:1989
standard.
Training
• Read the operator’s manual carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage
the controls quickly.
• Never allow children to operate the snowthrower. Never
allow adults to operate the snowthrower without proper
instruction.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons
(particularly small children) and pets.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Exercise extreme caution when crossing gravel drives,
walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• Do not attempt to clear snow from a crushed-rock or
gravel surface. This product is intended for use only on
paved surfaces.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove
the ignition key, thoroughly inspect the snowthrower for
any damage, and repair the damage before operating the
snowthrower.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
3
• Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the discharge chute, and
when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
• When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain
that the rotor blades and all moving parts have stopped.
• Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting it
and for moving the snowthrower in or out of the
building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are
dangerous.
• Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do
not attempt to clear steep slopes.
• Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards,
plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
• Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, window wells, and drop-offs without
properly adjusting the snow discharge angle. Keep
children and pets away.
• Rotating rotor blades can injure fingers or hands. Stay
behind the handles and away from the discharge
opening while operating the snowthrower. Keep your
face, hands, feet, and any other part of your body or
clothing away from moving or rotating parts.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, and inspecting the
snowthrower, and before unclogging the dischar ge
chute, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
• Use a stick, not your hands, to remove obstructions
from the discharge chute.
• Before leaving the operating position, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing that could get caught
in moving parts.
• If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged, illegible,
or lost, repair or replace it before beginning operation.
Also, tighten any loose fasteners.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Look behind and use care when backing up with the
snowthrower.
• Never direct the discharge at bystanders or allow
anyone in front of the unit.
• Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a
firm hold on the handle. Walk; never run.
Maintenance and Storage
• Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to be sure that the equipment is in safe
working condition.
• Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside
a building where ignition sources are present, such as
hot water and space heaters and clothes dryers. Allow
the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
• Always refer to this operator’s manual for important
details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an
extended period.
• Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
• Do not use the snowthrower on a roof.
• Do not touch the engine while it is running or soon after
it has stopped because the engine may be hot enough to
cause a burn.
• Perform only those maintenance instructions described
in this manual. Before performing any maintenance,
service, or adjustment, stop the engine, remove the key,
and disconnect the wire from the spark plug. If major
repairs are ever needed, contact your Authorized
Service Dealer.
• Do not change the governor settings on the engine.
• When storing the snowthrower for more than 30 days,
drain the fuel from the fuel tank to prevent a potential
hazard. Store fuel in an approved fuel container.
Remove the key from the ignition switch before storing
the snowthrower.
• To ensure the best performance and safety, purchase
only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels when
necessary.
