WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•

too fast a rate. If the engine slows down, shift to a
lower gear to reduce forward speed.
•

injure hands and feet.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
•
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed)
when throwing snow.
•
Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the snowthrower, and before
unclogging the discharge chute, shut the engine
off and wait for all moving parts to stop. Also,
pull the wire off of the spark plug and keep it
away from the plug to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine.
In wet or slushy conditions, maintain maximum engine
speed and do not overload the engine to prevent
clogging the discharge chute.
•
In some winter weather conditions, controls and
moving parts may freeze. Therefore, when any control
becomes hard to operate, stop the engine and wait for
all moving parts to stop; then check all parts for freeze
up. Do not use excessive force or try to operate the
controls when they are frozen.
•
•
Use a stick, not your hands, to remove an
obstruction from the discharge chute.
Stay behind the handles and away from the
discharge opening while operating the
snowthrower.
•
Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of
your body or clothing away from concealed,
moving or rotating parts.
