Toro Snowthrower Safety
•
•
•
Look behind and use care when backing up with the
snow thrower.
The following list contains safety information specific
to Toro products or other safety information that you
must know.
Disengage power to the rotor blades when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.
Never operate the snow thrower without good
visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and
keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
•
Rotating rotor blades can 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.
•
Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge
Chute
•
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.
Hand contact with the rotating rotor blades inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snow throwers. Never use your hand to
clean out the discharge chute.
• Before leaving the operating position, stop the
engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
To clear the chute:
•
If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged,
illegible, or lost, repair or replace it before beginning
operation. Also, tighten any loose fasteners.
•
•
Shut the engine off!
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotor blades have
stopped rotating.
•
•
•
Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
Do not use the snowthrower on a roof.
•
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
Do not touch the engine while it is running or soon
after it has stopped because the engine may be hot
enough to cause a burn.
Maintenance and Storage
•
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
•
Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. Before performing any
maintenance, service, or adjustment, stop the engine
and remove the key. If major repairs are ever needed,
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
•
Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present,
such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes
dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
•
•
Do not change the governor settings on the engine.
When storing the snowthrower for more than 30
days, drain the fuel from the fuel tank to prevent
a potential hazard. Store fuel in an approved fuel
container. Remove the key from the ignition switch
before storing the snowthrower.
•
Always refer to the Operator’s Manual for important
details if the snow thrower is to be stored for an
extended period.
•
•
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
•
Purchase only genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories.
Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the rotor blades.
