serious injury to you or to others. Always follow the safety
precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Save owners manual and review frequently for continuing safe
operation and instructing others who may use this snow thrower.

during operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere
with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to
consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before
operating this machine.

garments. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.

surface.
Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on gravel driveways,
walks, or roads, stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
3. If you hit a foreign object, stop the motor, remove the plug from
the power supply, thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any
damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the
snow thrower.
4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally. Stop the motor and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
5. Stop the motor whenever you leave the operating position, before
unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge guide, and
when making any repairs, adjustments or inspections.
6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
