The internal wiring could be damaged during assembly, causing serious personal injury when operating the snowthrower. 3. • Carefully assemble the snowthrower so that you will not damage the electrical wiring. • If the wiring is damaged, do not assemble the snowthrower.

Important: All electrical repairs should be performed only by an Authorized Service Dealer. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. If the extension cord is plugged into the snowthrower, someone could accidentally operate snowthrower while you are performing maintenance on it, causing serious personal injury.
