SNOW THROWER SAFETY

_L'WARNING: Keep hands and

feet away from the rotor when starting or running the engine. Never attempt to clear the rotor with the engine/motor running. Stop engine and disconnect spark plug before unclogging snow or debris from discharge chute or when adjusting vanes.

dUIWARNING: Never lean over dis- charge chute. Rocks or debris could be thrown into the eyes and face and cause serious injury or blindness.

_i WARNING: Inspect the area where the unit is to be used. Remove

objects that could be thrown or dam- age the unit. Some objects may be hidden by fallen snow - be alert for the possibility=

Direct material discharge away from glass enclosures, automobiles, etc.

Do not run engine at high speed while not removing snow.

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.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect spark plug and inspect the snowthrower for damage and repair if necessary be- fore restarting unit.

Never operate the snowthrower near

glass enclosures, automobiles and trucks.

Never attempt to use the snow- thrower on a roof.

Never operate the snowthrower near window wells, dropoffs, etc.

Never discharge snow onto public roads or near moving traffic.

Clear snow from slopes by going up and down; never across. Use cau- tion when changing directions. Nev- er clear snow from steep slopes.

Let snowthrower run for a few min- utes after clearing snow so moving parts do not freeze.

Look behind and use care when

backing up. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse.

Know how to stop quickly.
