OPERATOR SAFETY
Operation and Equipment Safety
This snowthrower is only as safe as the
operator. If it is misused, or not properly
maintained, it can be dangerous. Remember
you are responsible for your safety and that of
those around you.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small
children and pets.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the snowthrower will be used
and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign
objects.
• Do not operate the snowthrower without wearing adequate winter
clothing.
• Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
• Use caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating
the snowthrower in reverse.
• Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light.
Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the
handles.
• Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Use extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep
slopes.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear
snow too quickly.
• Never operate the snowthrower at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Look behind the snowthrower and use care
when operating in reverse.
• Do not use the snowthrower on surfaces above ground level such
as roofs of residences, garages, porches, or other such structures
or buildings.
• Operators should evaluate their ability to operate the snowthrower
safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury.
• The snowthrower is intended to remove snow only. Do not use the
snow thrower for any other purpose.
• Do not carry passengers.
• After striking a foreign object, shut OFF the engine, disconnect
the cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect the snowthrower
for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the snowthrower.
• If the snowthrower vibrates abnormally, shut OFF the engine.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. See an authorized
dealer if necessary for repairs.
• For models equipped with electric starting motors, disconnect the
power cord after the engine starts.

DANGER
Fuel Handling
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive. Always handle fuel with extreme
care.
Failure to observe these safety instructions can
cause a fire or explosion which will result in
severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn off engine and let cool at least 3 minutes before removing
the fuel cap and adding fuel.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. To allow for the expansion of gasoline,
do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
WHEN STARTING ENGINE
• Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner (if
equipped) are in place and secured.
• Do not crank the engine with the spark plug removed.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, but move the
snow thrower away from the area of the spill, and avoid creating
any source of ignition, until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Do not over-prime the engine. Follow the engine starting
instructions in this manual.
• If the engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN/RUN
position, move throttle (if equipped) to FAST position and crank
until engine starts.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
• Do not tip the snowthrower at an angle which causes the fuel to
spill.
• Do not choke the carburetor to stop the engine.
• Never run the engine with the air cleaner assembly (if equipped)
or the air filter (if equipped) removed.
WHEN CHANGING OIL
• If you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube, the fuel tank must be
empty or fuel can leak out and result in a fire or explosion.
WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY, or with fuel shut-off valve OFF.
WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL
IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other
appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because
they can ignite fuel vapors.
