To prevent a shock hazard, use the electric starting system only with an electrical cord rated for outdoor use. Be sure this electrical cord is of a sufficient gauge.

F.Do not abuse the electrical cord. Never pull the snowthrower by the cord. Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the outlet. Keep the cord away from oil, sharp edges, and excessive heat.

OPERATION

1.Before each use, check the operation of the snowthrower'scontrols. Do not operate the snowthrower unless all controls are functioning properly.

2.Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the intake and discharge openings at all times.

3.Exercise extreme caution when operating or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

4.After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the snowthrower for any damage. Repair any damage before restart- ing and operating the snowthrower.

5.If the snowthrower should start to vibrate abnor- mally, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and check immediately for the cause. Vibra- tion is generally a warning of trouble.

6.Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the auger/impeller housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.

7.When clearing, repairing, or inspecting, make sure that the auger/impeller and all other mov- ing parts have stopped. Stop the engine, discon- nect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

8.Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and transporting the snow- thrower into or out of the building. Open the buillding'soutside doors - exhaust fumes con- tain carbon monoxide, a deadly poison that is odorless and colorless.

9.Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when changing direc- tion on slopes. Do not attempt to clean steep slopes.

10.Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place.

SAFETY

11.Never operate the snowthrower near buildings, glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, etc. without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle and direction. Keep chil- dren and pets away.

12.Do not overload the snowthrower capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.

13.Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when backing.

14.Never direct discharge at bystanders. Never allow anyone in front of the snowthrower.

15.Disengage power to the auger when the snow- thrower is transported or not in use.

16.Use only attachments and accessories that are recommended by Troy-Bilt Manufacturing Company.

17.Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk - never run.

18.If the auger/impeller or discharge chute should clog with snow, NEVER use your hands or feet to remove the snow. Shut the engine off and dis- connect the spark plug wire. Then use a long stick (at least 3-feet long) to clear the blockage.

19.Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine.

20.Stop both the wheel drive and the auger drive if you are approached by any child, inattentive adult, or pet.

21.Do not touch engine parts which may be hot from operation. Allow the engine to cool before inspecting, cleaning, or repairing it.

22.If you have to pull the snowthrower rearward, release both handlebar levers. Always check behind you for hazards.

23.Do not operate the snowthrower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

24.Never attempt to carry children on the snow- thrower. They could fall off and be seriously injured or they could interfere with the safe oper- ation of the snowthrower.

25.Use extra care when using the snowthrower near blind corners, shrubs, trees, and any other objects that may obscure vision.

26.Keep children out of the area of operation. Keep children under the watchful eye of an adult other than the person operating the snowthrower.

Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
