Snowthrower Safety Test

Never run engine indoors or in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated area. The discharge chute
contains a rotating auger to throw snow. Never
clear or unclog the discharge chute with your
hands.
Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic amputation
or severe laceration will result. Always use a clean-out tool to
clear or unclog the discharge chute.
Hand contact with the rotating auger inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with snowthrowers.
• This snowthrower is capable of amputating hands and
feet, and throwing objects. Read and observe all the safety
instructions in this manual. Failure to do so will result in
death or serious injury.
