• Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure can cause loss of
consciousness within minutes and may lead to death.
• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the snow thrower
indoors.
• Stop the engine and let it cool before opening covers for inspection
and other servicing.
• Carefully check the area before backing the snow thrower up or
while working in reverse.
• For your safety and the safety of others, use caution while operating
the snow thrower during darkness.
NOTE:
While operating the snow thrower, hold the handle firmly and walk,
don't run. Wear suitable winter boots that resist slipping.
