SNOWTHROWING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the snowthrower for the first time, please review
both the SNOWTHROWER SAFETY chapter (page 4) and the
BEFORE OPERATION chapter (page 11).
Even if you have operated other snowthrowers, take time to become
familiar with how this snowthrower works, and practice in a safe area
until you build up your skills.
Never tamper with or alter any of the controls or safety devices on the
snowthrower.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed
area such as a garage. Your snowthrower's exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an
enclosed area and cause illness or death.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it
can cause unconsciousness and even kill
you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that
expose you to carbon monoxide.
