OPERATION

SNOW BLOWING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the snow blower for the first time, please review both
the SNOW BLOWER SAFETY chapter (see page 5) and the BEFORE
OPERATION chapter (see page 23).
Even if you have operated other snow blowers, take time to become
familiar with how this snow blower works, and practice in a safe area
until you build up your skills.
Never tamper with or alter any of the controls or safety devices on the
snow blower. Tampering is a violation of Federal and California law.
For your safety, do not start or operate the engine in an enclosed area
such as a garage. Your snow blower's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and
cause illness or death.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas that can build up to dangerous levels in
closed areas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
unconsciousness or death.
Never run the engine in a closed, or even partly
closed area where people may be present.
