SECTION 1: SAFETY

IMPORTANT

Safe Practices for Walk-Behind Snowthrowers.

This is a safety alert symbol. It is used in this Manual and on snow- thrower decals to alert you to poten- tial hazards. Whenever you see this

symbol, read and obey the safety message that follows it. Failure to obey the safety message could result in personal injury or property damage.

TRAINING

1.Very carefully read this Owner/Operator Manual and any other literature you receive. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the snowthrower and disengage its controls quickly.

2.Never allow children to operate the snowthrower. Never allow uninstructed or irresponsible adults to operate the snowthrower.

3.Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets.

PREPARATION

1.Thoroughly inspect the area where the snow- thrower will be used. Remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.

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

3.Do not operate the snowthrower without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

4.Handle gasoline with care; it is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.

5.Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces.

6.Never attempt to make any adjustments while the snowthrower is running (unless otherwise specified in this Manual).

7.Let the engine and snowthrower adjust to out- door temperatures before starting to clear snow.

8.Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes from objects that may be thrown from the machine.

9.Check the engine oil level before starting the engine.

10.Check the gas level in the gas tank before start- ing the engine. Don'tfill the gas tank when the

snowthrower is indoors or when the engine is running or hot. Allow the engine to cool for sev- eral minutes before filling the gas tank. Use an approved fuel container. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spillage. After filling, securely reinstall the gas tank and fuel container caps. Wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting the engine.

11.Do not fill the gas tank all the way up to the top of the filler neck. Fill the tank up only to within 112-inch of the bottom of the filler neck.

12.Before starting the engine, check the auger and discharge chute to make sure that they are free of ice.

13.Do not operate the snowthrower without guards or safety devices in place. Do not attempt to defeat the purpose of these safety devices.

14.Before starting the engine, check the snowthrow- er for loose or missing fasteners (nuts, screws, & bolts).

15.Keep smoking materials, sparks, and flame away from the gas tank and fuel container.

16.For electric starting snowthrowers:

A.Use a 3-pronged properly rated and approved electrical cord. Make sure that you plug this electrical cord into a properly grounded 3-pronged outlet.

B.Before use, inspect the electrical cord to make sure that it is not damaged.

C.When connecting or disconnecting the elec- trical cord, stand on dry ground - do not stand in puddles or on wet ground. Make sure that your hands (or gloves) are not wet. Do not use the electric starter if it is raining.

D.When connecting the electrical cord, first connect the cord to the electric starting switchbox (on top of the engine). Then connect the electri- cal cord to a properly grounded 120V wall outlet. This will help prevent any sparks from occurring near the engine.
