SNOWBLOWER SAFETY
Keep Shields in Place
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by
thrown objects and to keep you from touching hot engine parts and
moving components. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all
shields in place when the engine is running.
Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator,
bystanders, windows, and other objects with ejected snow. Stay clear
of the snow discharge chute while the engine is running.
Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation to
avoid injury from flying debris and contact with the snowblower.
Refuel with Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Allow the engine to cool if the snowblower has been in operation.
Refuel only outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF. Do
not overfill the fuel tank. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other
flames and sparks away. Always store gasoline in an approved
container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before
starting the engine.
Turn Engine OFF When Not Operating the Snowblower
If you need to leave the snowblower for any reason, even just to
inspect the area ahead, always turn the engine off.
Operation on Slopes
To avoid overturning, be careful when changing the direction of the
snowblower while operating it on a slope. Do not use the snowblower
to remove snow from roofs. The snowblower may overturn on steep
slopes if left unattended, causing injury to the operator or bystanders.
