extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do
not attempt to clear steep slopes.

or other safety devices in place.

Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, and inspecting the
snowthrower, and before unclogging the discharge
chute, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop. Also, disconnect the wire
from the spark plug and keep it away from the spark
plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the
engine.
