W W ork area safety
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is
to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.
•
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
starting the engine (motor).
•
Do not operate the product without wearing
adequate winter garments. Avoid loose fitting
clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear
footwear that will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.
•
Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
•
Use an approved fuel container.
•
Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never
fill fuel tank indoors.
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground, away from your
vehicle, before filling.
•
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a trailer with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
•
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times, until
refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
•
Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up
spilled fuel.
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
•
Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by
the manufacturer for all units with electric drive
motors or electric starting motors.
•
Adjust the auger housing height to clear gravel or
crushed rock surface.
•
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running (except when specifically
recommended by the manufacturer).
•
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during
operation or while performing an adjustment or
repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may
be thrown from the machine.

Personal protective equipment
Always use the correct personal protective equipment
when you operate the product. This includes, at
minimum, sturdy footwear, eye protection and hearing
protection. Personal protective equipment does not
erase the risk of injury but may decrease the grade of
injury if an accident occurs.
•
Always wear safety glasses or eye protection while
you operate the product or do maintenance or
repairs.
•
Always wear appropriate winter garments when you
operate the product.
•
Always use heavy-duty slip-resistant boots with good
ankle support while you operate the product.
•
Do not wear loose fitting clothing that can get caught
in moving parts.
•
Use approved protective gloves, if necessary. For
example, when attaching, examining or cleaning the
blade.

Always use approved ear protection while you
operate the product. Noise for a long period can
cause noise-induced hearing loss.
Safety devices on the product
•
Make sure that you regularly do the maintenance to
the product.
•
The life of the product increases.
•
The risk of accidents decreases.
Let an approved dealer or an approved service
center regularly examine the product to do
adjustments or repairs.
•
Do not use a product with damaged protective
equipment. If the product is damaged, speak to an
approved service center.
Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.
Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is
attached correctly and not damaged.
CAUTION The muffler becomes very hot
during and after use and when the engine
operates at idle speed. Be careful near
flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent
fire.
