DANGER
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.
DANGER
Hand contact with the rotating auger
inside the discharge chute is the most
common cause of injury associated
with snowthrowers.
