SAFETY RULES
The following safety instructions are based on the B71.3
specifications of the American National Standards Institute
in effect at the time of production.
Training
Read, understand and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual(s) before operating this unit.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use
of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and
disengage the controls quickly.
Never allow children to operate or play on or near the
equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment
without proper instruction.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children. Be alert and shut off unit if
children enter area.
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially
when operating the snow thrower in reverse.
Always remove key and/or wire from spark plug before
assembly, maintenance or service. Unintentional engine
start up can cause death or serious injury.
Complete a walk-around inspection of the unit to
understand the unit, your work area and all safety decals.
Understand how to operate all controls, the functions of all
controls and how to STOP in an emergency.
Preparation
Always check overhead and side clearances carefully
before operation.
Always be aware of traffic when operating near streets or
along curbs.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, toys, wires
and other foreign objects.
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
starting the engine.
Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the
manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors or
electric starting motors.
Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel
tank indoors.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers
on the ground, away from your vehicle, before filling.
• When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is
not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer
with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times, until refueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
Adjust the auger / impeller housing height to clear gravel
or crushed rock surface.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine
is running (except when specifically recommended by
manufacturer).
Always allow unit and engine to adjust to outdoor
temperature before clearing snow.
Operation
Disengage all controls before starting engine.
Never leave a running unit unattended. Always stop
engine and remove key before leaving unit to prevent
unauthorized use.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Moving and/or rotating parts can cut off body parts such
as fingers or a hand. NEVER place your hands, other
body part or clothing near any moving parts while unit is
running.
Always keep hands away from all pinch points.
Do not touch parts which might be hot from operation.
Allow parts to cool before attempting to maintain, adjust or
service.
Thrown objects can cause injury. Check for weak spots on
docks, ramps or floors. Avoid uneven work areas and
rough terrain and stay alert for hidden hazards.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.
