After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly
inspect the machine for any damage, and repair
the damage before restarting and operating the
machine.
If the machine should start to make an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the
cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally
warning of trouble.
Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury.
Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the machine’s
operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained equipment.
Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves,
excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the
chance of a fire hazard.
Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any
other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
debris. Clean after each use.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for
gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
Store idle machine out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine
or these instructions to operate it. Machine is
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Service
Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting
shut off the engine and make certain all moving
parts have stopped. Always make sure the
engine’s throttle control is in its STOP position.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire
away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
Have your machine serviced by qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the machine
maintained.
Specific Safety Rules
Do not operate without wearing adequate winter
outer garments.
Do not use the machine on a roof.
Do not run the engine indoors, except when
starting the engine and for transporting the snow
thrower in or out of the building. Open the outside
doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.
Always check overhead and side clearances
carefully before operation. Always be aware of
traffic when operating along streets or curbs.
Thoroughly inspect the area to be worked. Keep
the working area clean and free of toys, doormats,
newspapers, sleds, boards, wires and other
foreign objects, which could be tripped over or
thrown by the auger. Check for weak spots on
docks, ramps or floors.
Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid
discharge toward people or areas where property
damage can occur.
Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. Machine can suddenly turn over if
a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an
edge caves in.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least
23m (75 feet) away. If you are approached, stop
the unit immediately.
