WARNINGS
FOR
ELECTRIC
UNITS
BANGER:
When u%electric
machines, basic safety
precautions shouId aIways be foiIowed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
CarefuIIy read and understand the entire
operator's manuaI before using your unit. Pay
close attention to the operating instructions and
safety warnings.
This snow mover should be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock. The snow
mover is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord
and 3-prong grounding-type
plug to fit the proper
grounding-type
receptacle. The green or green/yellow
conductor
in the cord is the grounding wire. Never
connect this wire to a live terminal. If your unit is for
use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug that looks like
A in the figure below. If it is for use on 150 to 250
volts, it has a plug that looks like D in the figure.

CORD SETS: Please see your dealer for the
appropriate
extension cord to use with this product.
Make sure your cord set is in good condition, with a
cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that
your unit will draw. An undersizedcord
set will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power, as well
as overheating.
I he table shown above illustrates the
WARNING: To reduce
the risk o f
electrical shock, use
only SW-A, SOW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A cord types.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) that will
be used for the unit. Use receptacles with buiR-in
GFQ protection for an extra measure of safety.
• A data plate on your unit indicates the voltage used.
Never connect the unit to an AC voltage that differs
from this voltage.
WARNING:
To prevent electric
shock, use only with
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
• Inspect all extension cords and the unit power
connection
periodically. Look closely for deterioration,
cuts or cracks in the insulation. Also inspect the
connections for damage. Repair or replace the cords if
any defects appear.
When cleaning, inspecting or repairing the unit, make
certain the rotor and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the extension cord to prevent accidental
starting.
• Do not abuse the extension cord. Never carry the
snow thrower by the cord or yank on the cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the extension cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges to prevent damage.
If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while
it is plugged in, pull the extension cord from the wall
receptacle.
Prevent any possible disconnection
of the cord
receptacle from the extension cord during operation
by using the cord retainer and guide bar. Refer to the
section Using the Cord Retainer.
Avoid accidental
starting. Don't carry a pDgged-in
snow thrower with your finger on the switch. Be sure
the switch is off when plugging in the unit.
Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool before
putting it into storage. Store indoors.
Always unplug the unit when not in use, and before
performing any maintenance or repairs.
WHILE
OPERATING
• Walk, never run.
• Be sure the snow thrower is not in contact with
anything before starting the unit.
• Stay away from the discharge opening at all times.
Keep face, hands, and feet away from concealed
moving or rotating parts.
• Be attentive when using the snow thrower, and stay
alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards
or traffic.
