OPERATION:
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.

(motor), disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s)
and keep wire away to prevent accidental starting.
Thoroughly inspect the snowblower for any damage
and repair damage before restarting and operating
