minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with such con-
trols. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator presence con-
trol under any circumstances.

3.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives,
walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire
from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly
inspect snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snowthrower.
Training
1.
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the
manuals before operating this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the con-

Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to
operate the equipment without proper instruction.
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.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small
children and pets.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/im-
peller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental
starting.
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating in
reverse.

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 MONOX-
IDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).

Never operate  the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other
safety protective devices in place and working.

Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is trans-
ported or not in use.

be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk,
never run.
When practical, remove gas--powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
such on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gaso-
line dispenser nozzle.

Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved
in a large percentage of power equipment--related injuries. These
operators should evaluate their ability to operate the unit safely
enough to protect themselves and others from injury.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is
running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).
Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures
before starting to clear snow.

entangled in moving parts.
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.
