OPERATION
SNOWTHROWER OPERATION
The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established by experience, taking into consideration the terrain, wind conditions and building location which will determine the direction of the discharge chute.
NOTE: Do not discharge snow toward a building as hidden objects could be thrown with sufficient force to cause damage.
WARNING: Read Owner’s Manual before oper- ating machine. This machine can be dangerous if used carelessly.
Never operate the snowthrower without all guards, covers, and shields in place.
Never direct discharge toward windows or allow by- standers near machine while engine is running.
Stop the engine whenever leaving the operating posi- tion.
Disconnect spark plug before unclogging the impeller housing or the discharge chute and before making re- pairs or adjustments.
When leaving the machine, remove the ignition key. To reduce the risk of fire, keep the machine clean and free from spilled gas, oil and debris.
