Safety Rules & Information

21.Keep in mind the operator is responsible for acci- dents occurring to other people or property.

22.Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of power equipment-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the unit safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury.

23.DO NOT wear long scarves or loose clothing that could become entangled in moving parts.

24.Snow can hide obstacles. Make sure to remove all obstacles from the area to be cleared.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the operating activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

2.Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

3.Never allow children to operate the unit.

4.Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE

Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the dis- charge chute is the most common cause of injury associ- ated with snowthrowers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.

To clear the chute:

1.SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.

2.Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.

3.Always use a clean out tool, not your hands.

SERVICE, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE

1.Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent inter- vals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

2.Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and spacer heaters, or clothes dry- ers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

3.Always refer to the operator’s manual for important details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an extended period.

4.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.

5.Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.

6.If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

7.Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling prac- tices when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.

8.Always follow the engine manual instructions for stor- age preparations before storing the unit for both short and long term periods.

9.Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.

10.Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.

11.Keep nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in good condition.

12.Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly and make necessary repairs if they are not functioning properly.

13.Components are subject to wear, damage, and dete- rioration. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when nec- essary.

14.Check control operation frequently. Adjust and ser- vice as required.

15.Use only factory authorized replacement parts when making repairs.

16.Always comply with factory specifications on all set- tings and adjustments.

17.Only authorized service locations should be utilized for major service and repair requirements.
