Safe Operation Practices for Snow Throwers
As Recommended By: American National Standards Institute.
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator
presence controls to minimize the risk of injury.
Your snow thrower is equipped with such con-
trols. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the
operator presence control under any circum-
stances.

Never attempt to make any adjustments
while the engine (motor) is running (except
when specifically recommended by manufac-
turer).
11.  Do not clear snow across the face of slopes.
Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear
steep slopes.

proper guards, plates or other safety protec-
tive devices in place.

Never operate the snow thrower near enclos-
ures, automobiles, window wells, drop–offs,

justment or repair to protect eyes from foreign
objects that may be thrown from the snow
thrower.

Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care.
Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Maintenance And Storage
1.
Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
8.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain the auger/impeller and all moving
parts have stopped and all controls are dis-
engaged. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
keep the wire away from the spark plug to
prevent accidental starting.
Replace fuel  cap securely  and wipe  up
spilled fuel.
Never store fuel or snow thrower with fuel
in  the  tank  inside  of a  building  where
fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
2.
Never store the snow thrower with fuel in the
tank inside a building where ignition sources
are present such as hot water and space
heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow
the engine (motor) to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
f.
Check fuel supply before each use, allow-
ing space for expansion as the heat of the
engine (motor) and/or sun can cause fuel
to expand.
9.
Take all possible precautions when leaving
the snow thrower unattended. Disengage the
auger/ impeller, stop engine (motor), and re-
move key.
3.
Always refer to operator’s guide instructions
for important details if the snow thrower is to

Maintain or replace safety and instruction la-
bels, as necessary.
Run the snow thrower a few minutes  after
