14. Before leaving the operator’
s position—behind
the handles—remove key from switch.
15. Allow engine to warm up outdoors before
clearing snow
.
16. Operate the snowthrower only when there is
good visibility or light. Always maintain secure
footing and balance and keep a firm grip on the
handles, especially when operating in reverse.
Walk; never run.
17. Be attentive when using the snowthrower, and
stay alert for holes in the terrain and other
hidden hazards. Be careful when clearing snow
from a gravel drive because stones could be
picked up and thrown if skids are not adjusted so
auger/impeller housing clears all rocks.
18. Do not make any adjustments while the engine is
running, with the exception of carburetor
adjustments.
19. Never direct discharge of snow or operate
snowthrower near bystanders, glass enclosures,
automobiles and trucks, window wells or a
drop–off without proper adjustment of the snow
chute and deflector angle.
20. Clear snow from slopes by going up and down,
never across the face. Use caution when
changing directions. Use lower gear when
operating on slopes. Never clear snow from
steep slopes.
21. Do not overload the snowthrower by clearing
snow at too fast a rate.
22. DO NOT USE SNOWTHROWER ON A
ROOF.
23. If a foreign object is hit or snowthrower vibrates
abnormally, stop engine by turning key to OFF
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Pull wire
off spark plug and check snowthrower
immediately for possible damage, an obstruction
or loose parts. Vibration is generally a sign of
trouble. Repair any damage before starting
engine and operating snowthrower again.
24. Do not touch engine while it is running or soon
after it is stopped because the engine will be hot
enough to cause a burn. Do not add oil or check
oil level in crankcase when engine is running.
25. Never operate snowthrower at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when
backing.
Maintaining
Snowthrower
26. Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. Shut engine off before
performing any maintenance service or
adjustment. Additionally, pull wire off spark
plug and keep wire away from plug to prevent
accidental starting. If major repairs are ever
needed, contact your local Authorized TORO
Service Dealer for assistance.
