operating the snowthrower. Keep your face hands,
feet, and any other part of your body or clothing
away from concealed, moving, or rotating parts.

the snowthrower, and before unclogging the discharge
chute, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop. Also, cycle the auxiliary
hydraulics lever and disconnect the hydraulic lines.
