•
Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid snow discharge towards windows, walls, cars etc., thus
avoiding possible property damage or personal injury caused by a ricocheting debris.
•
Never direct discharge at children, bystanders and pets or allow anyone in front of the machine.
• Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast of a rate.... Remember!
Slow and steady operation is best to avoid clogs of snow being impelled too rapidly.
•
Never operate this machine without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing and keep
a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run.
•
Disengage power to the auger system (auger/impeller) by releasing the auger control (lever) when
transporting or not in use.
•
Never operate machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look down and behind and use
care when backing up.
•
If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground it against the engine. Inspect thoroughly for damage. Repair any damage before starting and
operating.
•
Disengage all (drive and auger) control levers and stop engine before you leave the operation position
(behind the handles).
•
Wait until the auger /impeller comes to a complete stop before unclogging the chute assembly,
making any adjustments or inspections.
•
Never put your hand in the discharge or collector openings. Always use the clean-out tool provided to
unclog the discharge opening. Do not unclog chute assembly while engine is running. Shut off engine
and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging.
•
Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer (e.g. wheel weights, tire chains,
cabs etc.).
•
When staring engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly, Rapid retraction of
starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster then you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
•
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment contact
customer support for assistance.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Refer to the maintenance
and adjustment sections of manual.
•
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting machine disengage all control levers and stop the engine.
•
Wait until the auger impeller comes to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent
unintended starting.
•
Check bolts and screws for proper tightness (EVERYTIME before & after use) as engine vibration
could cause hardware to loosen...consider using a Loc-Tite product to keep hardware secure.
