Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed. Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence controls to minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator presence control under any circumstances. 8. Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow. 9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine. 10. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place. Training 1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manuals before operating this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly. 2. Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction. 3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. 4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating in reverse. 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. 3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowthrower. 4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. 5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections. 6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. 7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CARBON MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS). 8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes. 9. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place and working. 10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep children and others away. 11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. 12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse. 13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is transported or not in use. 14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snowthrower (such as cabs, tire chains, etc.). 15. Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run. 16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
