Our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all industry standards for safety. Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of those around you. Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your local authorized dealer. Read the Manual The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation. Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the most out of your equipment investment. Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on the following pages. Also completely read the Operation section. Children Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often attracted to the unit and snowthrowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a risk that children may enter the area where you are operating the unit, have another responsible adult watch them. TP 600-3606-05-LW-SMA 2 DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE THIS UNIT! This encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it is running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then approach the unit when you are not expecting it, and you may run over them. Safety Rules and Information Moving Parts This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else. However, if you are standing in the operator’s position, and follow all the rules in this book, the unit is safe to operate. The auger and impeller have spinning parts that can amputate hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running! DO NOT clear the discharge chute by hand. If the chute becomes plugged, stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and clear the blockage with a clean-out tool or piece of wood. To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is equipped with an operator-present safety system. Do NOT attempt to alter or bypass the system. See your dealer immediately if the system does not pass all the safety interlock system tests found in this manual. Thrown Objects This unit has a spinning auger and impeller. They pick up and throw snow and ice. Thrown debris could seriously injure a bystander. ALWAYS direct the discharge chute away from bystanders and property that could be damaged by frying debris. Be sure to clean up the area to be cleared BEFORE you start. Do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the unit off immediately until they leave. Fuel and Maintenance Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its vapors can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the snowthrower fuel tank with the cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately. Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially periodically testing the safety system. 3 Safety Rules & Information This machine is capable to amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect the 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.

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.

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 wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs). 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. 17.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormat, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects. 2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting engine (motor). 3. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts. 4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
