SNOWBLOWER SAFETY
Keep Shields in Place
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by thrown
objectsand to keep you from touching hot engine parts and moving components.
For your safety and the safety of others, keep all shields in place when the
engine is running.
Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator, bystanders,
windows, and other objects with ejected 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 snowblower.
Refuel with Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Allow the
engine to cool if the snowblower has been in operation. Refuel only outdoors
in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF. Never fill the fuel tank beyond
the maximum fill mark. Never smoke near gasoline, and keepother flames and
sparks away. Always store gasoline in an approved container.
Turn Engine OFF When Not Operating the Snowblower
If you need to leave the snowblower for any reason, even just to inspect the
area ahead, always turn the engine off.
Operation on Slopes
To avoid overturning, be careful when changing the direction of the snowblower
while operating it on a slope. Do not use the snowblower to remove snow from
roofs. The snowblower may overturn on steep slopes if left unattended
causing injury to the operator
or
bystanders.
