and set the deflector at the desired angle.
Check that the auger housing is free of obstructions
and debris. Clean any debris or spilled fuel off
engine.
Thrown Objects
DANGER
Objects can be thrown by the snowthrower while
it is in operation. Thrown objects could cause
serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
Always wear safety goggles or other suitable eye
protection. Keep people and pets away from the
area.
Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains
CARBON MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and
DEADLY GAS.
Slope Operation
For your safety, operation on slopes should be in
an up and down direction only. If it becomes
necessary to move across the face of a slope,
use caution and do not activate the auger. Be
very careful when changing direction on a slope.
Proper winter footwear is recommended for the
operator to help prevent slipping. Never attempt
to clean snow from slopes. The maximum slope
for any operation is 17.7% (10º).
Do not use the snowthrower on surfaces above
ground level such as the roof of a building.
