SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove
all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
2. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments.
Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear
footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
3. Do not attempt to clear snow from a gravel or crushed rock surface. This
product is intended for use only on paved surfaces.
4. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running (except
when specifically recommended by manufacturer).
5. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while
performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that
may be thrown from the machine.
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 or crossing gravel drives, walks,
or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, 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 rotor blade housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs,
adjustments or inspections.
6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the snow thrower, stop the motor and
make certain that the rotor blades and all moving parts have stopped.
7. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
8. Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards and other safety
protective devices in place and working.
9. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage
can occur. Keep children and others away.
10.Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast
a rate.
11.Look behind and use care when backing up with the snow thrower.
12.Disengage power to the rotor blades when snow thrower is transported or not
in use.
13.Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or light. Always be
sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
14.Hand contact with the rotating rotor blades inside the discharge chute is the
most common cause of injury associated with snow throwers. Never use your
hand to clean out the discharge chute. Always use a clean-out tool to clear
blockages.
