• Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator,
bystanders, windows, and other objects with ejected snow. Stay clear of
the snow chuter 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 snow thrower.
• Do not use the snow thrower to remove snow from roofs.
• To avoid overturning, be careful when changing the direction of the
snow thrower while operating it on a slope.
• The snow thrower may overturn on steep slopes if left unattended,
causing injury to the operator or bystanders.
• Do not use the snow thrower on a slope of more than 10° (17%).
• The maximum safe grade angle shown is for reference purposes only. To
avoid tipping the snow thrower over, stay off slopes too steep for safe
operation. The risk of snow thrower upset is even higher when the surface
is loose, wet or uneven.
• Before starting the engine, check that the snow thrower is not damaged
and in good condition. For your safety and safety of others, exercise
extreme care when using the snow thrower up or down hill.
• If the snow discharge chute becomes clogged, stop the engine and use a
snow drop bar or a wooden stick to unclog it.
Never put your hand into the snow discharge chute while the engine is
running; serious personal injury could result.
