and snowblower. This snowblower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe
the following safety instructions could result in serious injury. All operators, no matter how experienced they may be,
should read this and other manuals related to the vehicle and attachments before operating. It is the owner's legal
obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation of the snowblower.
TRAINING:
This symbol, "Safety Alert Symbol", is used
throughout this manual and on the snowblower’s
safety labels to warn of the possibility of serious
injury. Please take special care in reading and
understanding the safety precautions before
operating the snowblower or the vehicle.
1. Read this owner's manual carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and proper use of the
vehicle and snowblower. Know how to stop the
unit and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate snowblower nor the
vehicle. Never allow adults to operate snowblower
nor the vehicle without proper instructions.
3. No one should operate the vehicle nor the
snowblower while intoxicated or while taking
medication that impairs the senses or reactions.
4. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets.
PREPARATION:
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
snowblower is to be used and remove door mats,
all foreign objects and the like.
2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
starting engine.
3. Do not operate the snowblower without wearing
adequate winter outer garments. Avoid loose fitting
clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear
footwear that will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.
4. Handle fuel with care, it is highly flammable.
a) Use approved fuel container.
b) Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
c) Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never
fill fuel tank indoors.
d) Never fill containers inside a vehicle, or on a

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 engine
(motor), disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s)
and keep wire away to prevent accidental starting.
Thoroughly inspect the snowblower for any damage
and repair damage before restarting and operating

f) 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-

g) Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled
fuel.

operation or while performing an adjustment or
repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may
be thrown from the machine.
9. Never modify the snowblower or any part
without the written consent from the
manufacturer.
