DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw snow. Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic amputation or severe laceration will result. Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snowthrowers.
Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the engine key before performing any maintenance or repairs.
4. Set the skid shoe on the other side at the same height.
Off-Season Storage
