    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS. Before operating the snowthrower, inspect the area in which you are going to clear snow. Remove debris and other obstacles the snowthrower might strike or throw, as that may cause injury or damage to the snowthrower. Inspect the snowthrower before operating it.
  • Page 5 Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator, bystanders, windows, and other objects with thrown snow. Stay clear of the snow discharge chute while the engine is running. Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation to avoid injury from flying debris and contact with the snowthrower.
  • Page 6 Never permit anyone to operate the snowthrower without proper instruction. If people or pets suddenly appear in front of the snowthrower while it is in opera- tion, immediately release the auger clutch lever to stop the snowthrower and avoid possible injury from rotating auger blades. If the snow discharge chute becomes clogged, stop the engine and use a wooden stick to unclog it.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not overfill the fuel tank, and make sure the filler cap is closed securely after refueling. Never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.
