DANGER
The snowthrower contains an auger and impeller that
throws snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become caught in
the auger or impeller that can result in traumatic amputation
or severe laceration.
• Turn the engine OFF. Wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
The steering control cable can stretch after frequent usage
during the first season of operation. If the cable has stretched,
it can stop the drive gears from disengagement while the
control activates.
1. STOP the engine. Remove the ignition key or push/pull
key.
