Avoid death or serious injury from rotating auger.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away.
Unclogging discharge chute is a hazardous activity.
Stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire when performing maintenance
on equipment.
Never leave the equipment unattended while engine is running. Always
disengage the auger and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.
Keep children, pets, and others out of the area during operation. Children
are often attracted to the equipment. Be mindful of all persons present.
Keep all loose clothing far away from front of snow thrower and auger.
Scarves, mittens, dangling drawstrings, loose clothes and pants can
quickly become caught in the rotating device and dismemberment will
occur. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
The snow thrower is intended to remove snow only. Do not use for
purposes other than what is intended.
Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.
Do not use the snow thrower on surfaces above ground level such as roofs
of residences, garages, porches or other such structures or buildings.
Discharge chute contains rotating impeller to throw snow.
Never clear or unclog discharge chute with your hands, or
while engine is running.
Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic
amputation or severe laceration can result.
Unclogging the discharge chute is a hazardous activity. Clogged or
blocked augers store energy and can rotate unexpectedly.
Never place hands in or near discharge chute.
With engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to cease movement, then with a
stick, clear the chute. Even with engine off, parts may rotate and
dismemberment can occur.
Clogged snow can hide other obstructions in the chute and cause damage
to the equipment, impeller or auger. Take precautions when restating the
equipment after snow removal.
