#56663 SNOW THROWER OPERATOR’S MANUAL 5
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating your Snow Thrower.
Do not use your Snow Thrower while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Snow Thrower may result in serious
bodily injury.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR RUNNING SNOW THROWER UNATTENDED. Turn the power
switch to OFF. Do not leave your Snow Thrower until it has come to a complete stop.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the Snow Thrower on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the Snow Thrower may result in bodily injury.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the Snow Thrower in unexpected situations. Hold the handles firmly to avoid injury.
When stepping backwards, be cautious about any obstacles beneath your feet or behind you to
avoid falling.
Snow thrower Use and Care
Know your snow thrower - Familiarize yourself with the main parts of your snow thrower.
Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn your snow thrower’s applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this machine. Do not use this machine for any
purpose other than the one for which it was designed. Otherwise, it may cause mechanical
defaults, serious damage or personal injury.
Preliminary unit inspection - Thoroughly inspect the unit before use. Make sure all the parts
are secure and installed correctly. If you notice any abnormalities, do not use the machine until it
has been properly repaired. Always perform a test run the first time you use the snow thrower or
after replacing parts to ensure that the unit is functioning properly.
Preliminary area inspection - Clear the area to be plowed before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, which can be thrown by or become entangled
in the snow thrower. Keep the area of operation clear of other people and pets.
Excessive force - The snow thrower was designed to respond at a certain rate for various snow
conditions for optimum safety and performance. Do not force it; keep pressure constant.
Malfunctioning switch - Do not use the snow thrower if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any electrical appliance that cannot be controlled by the switch is not safe to use and must be
repaired.
Hitting an object - If the snow thrower accidentally strikes an object, stop the snow thrower;
inspect for damage; repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the snow
thrower.
Discharge chute safety - Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, at bystanders, at
vehicles or at windows. Thrown snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the snow
thrower can cause serious damage and personal injury. Do not use your hands to unclog the
discharge chute. Stop the motor before removing debris.
