IMPORTANT Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Snow Throwers

This snow thrower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury.

WARNING: Snow throwers have ex- posed rotating parts, which can cause severe injury from contact, or from ma- terial thrown from the discharge chute. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, small children and pets at all times including startup.

CAUTION: Muffler and other engine parts become extremely hot during operation and remain hot after engine has stopped. To avoid severe burns on

Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable (a) Use an approved fuel container. (b) Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine. (c) Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill

fuel tank indoors. (d) Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from your vehicle, before filling.

(e) When praclical. remove gas-powered equipment from lhe 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.

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 cross-

ing 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 snow thrower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow thrower.

4. If the unil 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 oper- ating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller hous~ng or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments or inspections.

6. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow thrower, Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute stop the engine and make certain the collector/impel- ler and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the chute-is the most COh7mOn cause of injury associated with plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the S~-IOW thr~wers.

8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. 9. Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards,

and other safety protective devices in place and work- ing.

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 snow thrower is transported or not in use.

14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs).

15. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of yourfooting, and keep afirm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever when tractlon drive coritrrrl lever is engaged. Damage to the snow thrower can result.

Slowbr speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It .Is recommended that you use a slower speed until you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust the discharge chute dlrwtian without iflsaxrupang the WQW throwing process.
