•Be attentive when using the snow-

thrower, and stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.

•Make sure the rotor will spin freely before attaching the snowthrower to the powerhead.

•If the rotor will not rotate freely due to frozen ice, thaw the unit thorough- ly before attempting to operate under power.

•Keep the rotor clear of debris.

•Do not throw snow near other people. The snow thrower could propel small objects at high speed causing injury.

glass enclosures, automobiles and trucks.
