with the safety instructions provided in this operating manual, the use of snowthrower
for other purposes is considered to be unsuitable and the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for any damages and damage incurred. Making changes to the design of
the machine on its own initiative relieves the manufacturer of any liability for damage.
Work with the machine is related to the possibility of injury and damage to third parties
and their property located in the work area.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the
discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
Do not modify engine
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any way. Tampering with
the governor setting can lead to a runaway engine and cause it to operate at unsafe
speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of engine governor.
