SAFETY RULES
•Never operate the snow thrower near glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells drop- offs, and the like without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle. Keep children and pets away.
•Never operate the snow thrower at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when backing.
•Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front of the snow thrower.
•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
(containing CARBON MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
•Take all possible precautions when leaving the snow thrower unattended. Disengage the auger/ impeller, stop engine, and remove key.
•Do not overload the machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
SAFE STORAGE
•Always refer to Owner's Manual instructions for important details if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended period.
•Disengage power to the auger/impeller when snow thrower is transported or not in use.
•Never store the snow thrower with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
REPAIR/ADJUSTMENTS SAFETY
•After striking a foreign object, stop the engine and remove the wire from the spark plug, or
disconnect the cord from electric motor. Thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow thrower.
•If the snow thrower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (or electric motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
•Stop the engine (or electric motor) whenever you leave the operating position, before un-
clogging the auger/impeller housing or dis- charge guide, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections. Remove wire from spark plug or disconnect cord from electric motor.
•When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the auger/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
•Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except when specifically recommended in this manual).
•Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
