3. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging
the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs,
adjustments or inspections.
4. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow thrower, stop the engine and make
certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting
the engine
5. The auger/impeller control lever is a safety device. Never bypass its operation. Doing so
makes the machine unsafe and may cause personal injury.
6. The control levers must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the
disengaged position when released.
7. Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards, and other safety protective
devices in place and working.
8. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains
carbonmonoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

10. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel surfaces. Stay alert
for hidden hazards or traffic. 11. Exercise caution when changing direction and while
operating on slopes.
12. Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharging towards windows, walls, cars
etc. Thus, avoiding possible property damage or personal injury caused by a ricochet.

behind and use care when backing up.
18. If the machines should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine, disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground it against the engine. Inspect thoroughly for damage. Repair
any damage before starting and operating.
19. Disengage all control levers and stop engine before you leave the operating
position(behind the handles). Wait until the auger/impeller comes to a complete stop
before unclogging the chute assembly, making any adjustments, or inspections.
20. Never put your hand in the discharge or collector openings. Always use the clean-out
tool provided to unclog the discharge opening. Do not unclog chute assembly while engine
is running. Shut off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped
before unclogging.
