Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting
the gasoline, place the container and/or
snowthrower on the ground before filling,
not in a vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
• Do not tip the snowthrower either forward
or backward with fuel in the fuel tank;
otherwise, fuel may leak out of the
snowthrower.
