Operation

Before Operation

Safety

•
Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by
the manufacturer for all machines with electric starting
motors.
•
Do not operate the machine without wearing adequate
winter garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get
caught in moving parts. Wear slip resistant footwear that
will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
•
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation
or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect
eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the
machine.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be
used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and
other foreign objects.
•
If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged, illegible, or
lost, repair or replace it before beginning operation. Also,
tighten any loose fasteners.

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 machine
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.
