While Operating; Maintaining Snowthrower - Toro CCR 2400 GTS Manuel De L'utilisateur

While Operating

10. Use only a UL listed extension cord (16 gage
wire minimum) for use with the electric start
model. Do not plug the extension cord into
outlet while standing in water or when hands are
wet. Do not use cord if gasoline has been spilled.
If extension cord is damaged, replace
immediately (Part No. 28–9170).
11. Never direct discharge toward or operate
snowthrower near bystanders, glass enclosures,
automobiles and trucks, window wells or a
drop–off. Never allow anyone in front of
snowthrower.
12. Keep people and pets a safe distance away from
the snowthrower and area of operation.
13. Operate the snowthrower only when there is
good visibility or light. Always maintain secure
footing and balance and keep a firm grip on the
handle. Walk; never run.
14. DO NOT USE SNOWTHROWER ON A
ROOF.
15. Be attentive when using the snowthrower, and
stay alert for holes in the terrain and other
hidden hazards.
16. STAY AWAY FROM 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.
17. Never clear snow off steep slopes or across the
faces of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes.
18. Do not overload the snowthrower by clearing
snow at too fast a rate.
19. Use extreme caution when crossing or operating
snowthrower on walks, roads or gravel or
crushed rock drives. Refer to Operating Tips,
page 7, item 4 for correct operating procedure.
20. If a foreign object is hit or snowthrower vibrates
abnormally, stop engine by turning key to OFF
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Check
snowthrower immediately for possible damage,
an obstruction or loose parts. Vibration is
generally a sign of trouble. Repair any damage
before operating snowthrower again.
21. Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing or
inspecting the snowthrower, or before
unclogging the discharge chute, stop engine by
turning key to OFF and wait for all moving parts
to stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
keep the wire away from the plug to prevent
someone from accidentally starting the unit. Do
not make adjustments while engine is running.
22. WHENEVER YOU LEAVE THE
OPERATING POSITION, STOP ENGINE
BY TURNING KEY TO OFF. REMOVE
KEY FROM SWITCH IF UNIT WILL BE
UNATTENDED.
23. Let snowthrower run for a few minutes after
clearing snow so moving parts do not freeze.

Maintaining Snowthrower

24. REMOVE KEY FROM SWITCH when storing
snowthrower. Store key in a memorable place.
25. Never store snowthrower with fuel in fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources such as
an open flame, sparks, hot water and space
heaters, and clothes dryers are present. Allow
engine to cool before storing. NEVER STORE
SNOWTHROWER IN HOUSE (LIVING
AREA) OR BASEMENT BECAUSE
GASOLINE AND FUMES ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE, EXPLOSIVE, AND
DANGEROUS IF INHALED.
26. Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. Remove key from
switch before performing maintenance
procedures to prevent the possibility of
accidental starting. If major repairs are ever
needed, contact your local Authorized TORO
Service Dealer for assistance.
