RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING: This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Read these safety
rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe
personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in text
signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.
Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence controls
to minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with
such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator
presence control under any circumstances.
8. Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures
before starting to clear snow.
9. 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.
10.
Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates or other
safety protective devices in place.

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,

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), disconnect the cord
on electric motors, thoroughly inspect snowthrower for any damage, and
repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowthrower.

If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
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.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Preparation

3.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine
(motor).
Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter outer
garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts.
7.
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
MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).

Use an approved fuel container.
Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.

clear steep slopes.
9.
Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other
safety protective devices in place and working.
d.
e.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with
a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from
your vehicle, before filling.
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
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle
lock−open device.
Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery
surfaces. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse.
Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is
transported or not in use.
Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of
the snowthrower (such as cabs, tire chains, etc.).
f.

Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer
for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.
Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surfaces.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is
running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).
Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always be
sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never
run.
