WARNING: To prevent electric shock use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

15.CORD SETS: Please see your dealer for the appropriated extension cord to use with this product. Make sure your cord set is in good condition, with a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that your unit will draw. An undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power, as well as overheating. The table shown above illustrates the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier size line gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. To prevent the cord from disconnecting from the unit, use the cord hook shown in the Operating Instructions.

While Operating

1.Walk, never run.

2.Be sure the snow thrower is not in contact with anything before starting the unit.

3.Stay away from the discharge opening at all times. Keep face, hands, and feet away from concealed moving or rotating parts.

4.Be attentive when using the snow thrower, and stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards or traffic.

5.Do not use on a gravel surface or crushed rock surfaces. Use extreme caution when crossing gravel/crushed rock drives, walks, or roads.

6.Clear snow from slopes by going up and down. Never go across the slope. Use caution when changing directions. Never clear snow from steep slopes.

7.Never attempt to use the snow thrower on a roof or any steep, inclined, slippery surfaces.

8.Never operate snow thrower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place, and in working order.

9.Never operate the snow thrower near glass enclosures, automobiles, trucks, window wells, dropoffs, etc. without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle. Keep children and pets away.

10.Don’t force or overload the snow thrower. The snow thrower will perform at its best and safest when it is run at the rate for which it was designed.

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

12.Never direct discharge towards people or allow anyone in front of the unit while operating.
