Moving Parts
Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from
rotating parts. Rotating parts can contact or
entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or
accessories.
Failure to observe these safety instructions will
result in traumatic amputation or severe
laceration.
• Whenever cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the snowthrower,
make sure the engine is OFF, spark plug wire is disconnected,
and all moving parts have stopped.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
• Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, and other
safety devices in place and working.
• Never leave the snowthrower unattended while engine is running.
Always disengage the auger and traction controls, stop engine,
and remove keys.
• Keep all loose clothing away from the front of the snowthrower
and auger. Scarves, mittens, dangling drawstrings, loose clothes,
and pants can quickly become caught in the rotating device and
amputation will occur. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Run the machine a few minutes after discharging snow to prevent
freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
• Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is
transported or not in use.
Thrown Objects
Objects can be picked up by auger and thrown
from chute. Never discharge snow toward
bystanders or allow anyone in front of the
snowthrower. Failure to observe these safety
instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation, and
while performing an adjustment or repair.
• Always be aware of the direction the snow is being thrown.
Nearby pedestrians, pets, or property may be harmed by objects
being thrown.
• Be aware of your environment while operating the snowthrower.
Don't run over items such as gravel, doormats, newspapers, toys,
and rocks hidden under snow, as they can all be thrown from the
chute or jam in the auger.
• Use extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives,
walks, or roads.
• Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surface.
• Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, and the like without proper
adjustment of the discharge chute angle.
• Familiarize yourself with the area in which you plan to operate the
snow thrower. Mark off boundaries of walkways and driveways.

DANGER
DANGER
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is
not alert to the presence of children. Children
are often attracted to the unit and the
operating activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the area during operation. Children are often
attracted to the equipment. Be mindful of all persons present.
• Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
• Never allow children to operate the unit.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may obscure vision. Children may be present.
Engine Safety
Safe operation of the snowthrower requires the
proper care and maintenance of the engine.
Failure to observe the safety instructions in this
manual will result in death or serious injury.
• Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the
engine.
• Let the engine adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to
clear snow.
• Use a grounded three-wire plug-in for all snowthrowers equipped
with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,
fainting, or death.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open.
