• Always keep children away from areas to be cleared. Get
another adult to keep the children under supervision.

• Take care when reversing. Look behind you before and
during reversing to check for any obstacles.
• Never point the discharge chute towards bystanders. Do
not allow anyone to stand in front of the machine.

transported or is not in use Do not drive too fast on
slippery surfaces when transporting.
• Only use accessories that are approved by the machine's
manufacturer.
• Never drive the snow thrower in bad visibility or without
satisfactory lighting.
• Always ensure you have a good balance and a tight grip
on the handle.
• Do not touch engine components because they are warm
during use. Risk of burn injuries.
2.4 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Tighten all nuts and screws so that the machine is in safe
working condition. Check the shear bolts regularly.
• Always use genuine spare parts. Non-genuine spare parts
can entail a risk of injury, even if they fit the machine.
• Never store the machine with petrol in the tank in
buildings where the fumes can come into contact with
open flames or sparks.
• Allow the engine to cool before putting the machine in
store.
• Before a long storage, check the instructions for
recommendations.
• Replace damaged warning and instruction stickers.
• Let the engine run a couple of minutes with the auger
connected after use. This prevents the auger from
freezing solid.
