Look for this symbol to point out im- portant safety precautions. It means CAUTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

WARNING: Always disconnect spark plug wire and place it where it cannot contact plug in order to prevent acci- dental starting when setting up, trans- porting, adjusting or making repairs.

WARNING: This snow thrower is for use on sidewalks, driveways and other ground level surfaces. Caution should be exercised while using on sloping sur- faces. Do not use snow thrower on surfaces above ground level such as roofs of residences, garages, porches or other such structures or buildings.

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 contact, stay away from these areas.

WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemi- cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Training

2.Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.

3.Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, par- ticularly small children.

4.Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating the snow thrower in reverse.

Preparation

1.Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.

2.Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine (motor).

3.Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

(a)Use an approved fuel container.

(b)Never add fuel to a running engine or hot en- gine.

(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 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.

(f)Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times, until refuel- ing is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

(g)Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

7.Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).

8.Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during op- eration or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine.

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 unit 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 housing or discharge chute, and when making any
