Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, and other safety
protective devices in place and working.
Be careful when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always
be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk;
never run.
Be careful to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating the
snowthrower in reverse.
Be careful when operating on slopes.
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the
spark plug, thoroughly inspect the snowthrower for any damage, and
repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowthrower.
Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter
garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving
