1. Safety Information
1.1 Before Operating
Read and understand the contents of this manual
before operating the snow thrower.
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 hazard, comply with the following safety
instructions.
This snow thrower is capable of amputating hands
and feet and of throwing objects. Failure to observe
the following safety instructions could result in
serious injury.
1.2 Training
1.2.1 Regard the snow thrower as a piece of power
equipment and the operator needs to be trained before
operating this unit.
1.2.2 Read and follow all instructions on the machine
and in the manual(s). Be thoroughly familiar with
controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know
how to stop the unit and disengage the controls.
1.2.3 Never allow children, teenagers, or adults to
operate the equipment without proper instruction.
1.2.4 Keep everyone, especially children and pets,
away from the area of operation. Remember that the
operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
1.2.5 Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling,
especially when operating the snow thrower in
reverse.
1.3 Preparation
1.3.1 Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all wires, blocks,
and any other foreign objects.
1.3.2 Put the clutch and shift levers into neutral before
starting the engine.
1.3.3 Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing that can get
caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
1.3.4 Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
Use an approved fuel container.
Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never
fill fuel tank indoors.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed, because interior carpets or
plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container
and slow the loss of any static charge.
Always place containers on the ground, away
from your vehicle, before filling.
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
equipment on a trailer with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times, until
refueling is complete.
Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up
spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
1.3.5 Use extension cords and receptacles as specified
by the manufacturer for all units with electric starting
motors.
1.3.6 Adjust the collector housing height to clear
gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
1.3.7 Never attempt to make any adjustments while
the engine is running (except when specifically
recommended by manufacturer).
1.3.8 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.

1.4 Operation
1.4.1 Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
1.4.2 Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
1.4.3 After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly
inspect the snow thrower for any damage, and repair
the damage before restarting and operating the snow
thrower.
1.4.4 If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
1.4.5 Stop the engine:
Whenever you leave the operating position.
When making any repairs, adjustments, or
inspections.
Before unclogging the auger/impeller housing or
discharge chute.
1.4.6 When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the snow
thrower, stop the engine and make certain the
anger/impeller and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire
away from the plug to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine.
1.4.7 Do not run the engine indoors, except when
starting the engine and for transporting the snow
thrower in or out of the building. Open the outside
doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.
1.4.8 Exercise extreme caution when operating on
slopes.
1.4.9 Never operate the snow thrower without proper
guards and other safety protective devices in place and
working.
1.4.10 Never direct the discharge toward people or
areas where property damage can occur. Keep children
and others away.
1.4.11 Do not overload the machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
1.4.12 Never operate the machine at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care
when operating in reverse.
1.4.13 Disengage power to the auger/impeller when
snow thrower is transported or not in use.
1.4.14 Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer of the snow thrower.
1.4.15 Never operate the snow thrower without good
visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and
keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
1.4.16 Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
1.5 Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating rotor blades inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snow throwers. Never use your hand
to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
Shut the engine off!
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades
have stopped rotating.
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
1.6 Maintenance and Storage
1.6.1 Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for
proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
1.6.2 Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where ignition sources are
present, such as hot water heaters or clothes dryers.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
1.6.3 Always refer to the Operator's Manual for
important details if the snow thrower is to be stored
for an extended period.
1.6.4 Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,
as necessary.
1.6.5 Run the machine a few minutes after throwing
snow to prevent freeze-up of the auger/impeller
blades.

1.7 Snow thrower Safety
The following list contains safety information specific
to products or other safety information that you must
know.
1.7.1 Rotating the auger/impeller can cut off or injure
fingers or hands. Stay behind the handles and away
from the discharge opening while operating the snow
thrower. Keep your face, hands, feet, and any other
parts of your body or clothing away from moving or
rotating parts.
1.7.2 Before adjusting, cleaning, inspecting,
troubleshooting, or repairing the snow thrower, stop
the engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop. Disconnect the wire from the
spark plug and keep it away from the spark plug to
prevent someone from accidentally starting the
engine.
1.7.3 Before leaving the operating position, stop the
engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
1.7.4 To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the
operating position and release the left hand (traction)
lever. While running the auger/impeller, push down on
the handles to raise the front of the snow thrower a
few inches (centimeters) off the pavement. Then lift
the handles quickly to bump the front of the snow
thrower on the pavement. Repeat if necessary until a
stream of snow comes out the discharge chute.
1.7.5 If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by
bumping the front of the snow thrower, stop the
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and use the
clean-out tool; never use your hand.
1.7.6 If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged,
illegible, or lost, repair or replace it before beginning
operation.
1.7.7 Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
1.7.8 Do not use the snow thrower on a roof.
1.7.9 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.
1.7.10 Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. Before performing any
maintenance, service, or adjustment, stop the engine,
remove the ignition key, and disconnect the wire from
the spark plug. If major repairs are ever needed,
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
1.7.11 Do not change the governor settings on the
engine.
1.7.12 When storing the snow thrower 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 snow thrower.
1.7.13 Purchase only genuine replacement parts and
accessories.
