2.Disengage all clutches and shift to neutral before starting the engine.

3.Disengage all control levers before starting the engine.

4.Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.

5.Use a grounded three-wire extension cord when using the electric start option.

Gasoline and other fuels—Safety Precautions

Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels as they are flammable and vapors can explode.

1.Only use gasoline approved containers for storage and keep out of reach from children.

2.Do not fill fuel tank completely full. Overfilling may result in fuel leakage. Leave a reasonable amount of space for fuel to expand.

3.If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine. Move the snow blower away from the area, wipe up the spill thoroughly and wait until fuel vapors have evaporated before starting engine.

4.Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim on the fuel tank or container opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use nozzle lock-open device.

5.Do not fill gasoline containers or equipment inside a vehicle or on a truck/trailer bed.

6.Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicles prior to filling.

7.Never remove gas cap or add fuel when engine is running or the engine is hot.

8.Avoid prolonged breathing of gasoline vapors.

9.Never refuel or drain the machine indoors.

10.Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank opening.

11.Keep gas and other fuels away from skin and eyes. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

12.Never use the mouth to siphon gas.

13.Never refuel the snow blower until all moving parts on the snow blower have stopped.

14.Never smoke when handling fuels and stay away from an open flame where fumes can be ignited by a spark.

15.Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.

DANGER: GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. Do not add fuel while the engine is running or is hot. Keep open flames, sparks, and heat away from the fuel and store fuel in containers specifically designed for that purpose. ADD FUEL

OUTDOORS ONLY. IF THE FUEL IS SPILLED, DO NOT START THE ENGINE. Manually push the snow blower away from the spill and wipe up immediately.
