Throwing Snow

When the snowthrower is in operation, the
impeller and auger can rotate and cut off or injure
hands and feet.
Before adjusting, cleaning, inspecting,
troubleshooting, or repairing the
snowthrower, stop the engine and wait for all
moving parts to stop. Disconnect the wire
from the spark plug and keep it away from the
plug to prevent someone from accidentally
starting the engine.
Remove an obstruction from the discharge
chute; refer to Unclogging the Discharge
Chute on page 15. If necessary, use a stick,
not your hands , to remove an obstruction
from the discharge chute.
Stay behind the handles and away from the
discharge opening while operating the
snowthrower.
Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of

your body or clothing away from concealed,
moving, or rotating parts.

other foreign objects and cause serious personal
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and throw.
