•
•
Adjust the auger housing height to clear a gravel or
crushed-rock surface.
• Disengage the power to the auger/impeller when the
snowthrower is being transported or when not in use.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine
is running, except where specifically recommended by
Toro.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved by
Toro, such as wheel weights, counterweights, and cabs.
(Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for accessories
available for your snowthrower.)
• Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handle. Walk; never run.
•
•
Let the engine and the snowthrower adjust to the
outdoor temperature before starting to clear snow.
Operating any powered machine can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating, adjusting, or
repairing the snowthrower.
MaintenanceandStorage
•
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to be sure that the equipment is in safe
working condition.
Operation
•
•
•
Do not put your hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
•
Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside
a building where ignition sources are present, such as
hot water and space heaters and clothes dryers. Allow
the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
Exercise extreme caution when crossing gravel drives,
walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
disconnect the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly
inspect the snowthrower for any damage, and repair the
damage before operating the snowthrower.
• Always refer to this operator’s manual for important
details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an
extended period.
•
•
If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
•
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels when
necessary.
ToroSnowthrowerSafety
Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the auger/impeller housing
or discharge chute, and when making any repairs,
adjustments, or inspections.
The following list contains safety information specific to
Toro products or other safety information that you must
know.
•
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain
that the auger/impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the spark plug to prevent someone
from accidentally starting the engine.
•
Rotating auger/impeller can cut off or injure
fingers or hands. Stay behind the handles and
away from the discharge opening while operating the
snowthrower. Keep your face, hands, feet, and any
other part of your body or clothing away from
moving or rotating parts.
•
•
Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting
it and for moving the snowthrower in or out of the
building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are
dangerous.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, inspecting, troubleshooting,
or repairing the snowthrower, stop the engine, remove
the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and keep
it away from the spark plug to prevent someone
from accidentally starting the engine.
Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do
not attempt to clear steep slopes.
•
•
Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards
or other safety devices in place.
•
To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the operating
position and release the left hand (traction) lever. While
running the auger/impeller, push down on the handles
to raise the front of the snowthrower a few inches
(centimeters) off the pavement. Then lift the handles
quickly to bump the front of the snowthrower on the
pavement. Repeat if necessary until a stream of snow
comes out the discharge chute.
Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, window wells, and drop-offs without
properly adjusting the snow discharge angle. Keep
children and pets away.
•
•
•
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
Look behind and use care when backing up with the
snowthrower.
•
If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by bumping
the front of the snowthrower, stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and use a stick; never
use your hand.
Never direct the discharge at bystanders or allow anyone
in front of the unit.
