IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES
5. When operating electrical equipment outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. Keep the plug clear of water.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
power equipment. Do not use power equipment while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power equipment may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Plugging in electrical equipment with the switch on invites
accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the equipment in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should wear safety glasses and
be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord.
8. Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistance
lenses. They are not safety glasses.
9. Keep hands, face and feet at a distance from all moving parts. Do not touch or
try to stop the machine when they are rotating. Do not operate without guards
in place.
PREPARATION
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all
foreign objects such as doormats, newspapers, sleds, boards, wires, and other
items, which could be tripped over or thrown by the auger/impeller.
2. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields to protect your eyes during
operation and while performing adjustments or repairs. Thrown objects which
ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.
3. Do not operate without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Do not wear
jewelery, long scarves or other loose clothing which could become entangled in
moving parts. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
4. Use a grounded three-wire extension cord and receptacle for all units with
electric motors.
5. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running, except
where specically recommended in the operator’s manual.
6. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
7. Do not operate electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
8. Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge towards windows, walls,
cars, etc., thus avoiding possible property damage or personal inquiry caused
by a ricochet.
9. Allow the motor and machine to adjust to outdoor temperature before starting
to clear snow.

MOVING THE MACHINE AND PLOWING SNOW
WARNING: Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string,
can be picked up and thrown by the snowthrower, causing serious personal
injury.
1. Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating the
snowthrower. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can
become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the
area since some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the
snowthrower hit an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop
the snowthrower, disconnect the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and
inspect the unit for damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware
that the normal noise of the machine when turned on may make it difcult for
you to hear approaching people.
3. When moving the snowthrower, use the wheels as the pivot point. Slightly tilt
the snowthrower on this pivot point to move it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and work outward, throwing
snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction, step over
the cord and pivot the snowthrower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap
clearing paths.
5. Take note of the wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the
wind so that the snow is not thrown against the wind (and thus back into your
face and onto the just-cleared path.)
6. While moving the snowthrower, do not pull on the power cable violently or
roughly.
7. Do not push the snowthrower with excessive force. Push the machine gently
and evenly in accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
8. Do not apply additional man-made load to the motor since this may cause
motor damage.
9. Some parts of the snowthrower may freeze under extreme temperature
conditions. Do not attempt to operate the snowthrower with frozen parts. If the
parts freeze while the snowthrower is in use, stop the snowthrower, unplug the
extension cord, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting or
operating the snowthrower. Never force controls that have frozen.
10. Working on pebbles, gravel or unpaved surfaces—To avoid throwing loose
surface material along with the snow, push down on the handle to tilt the unit,
raising the scraper at the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
WARNING: Avoid overtaxing your snowthrower by using it for thick, heavy (wet)
snow or to clear snow over 23 cm (9 inches) deep.
CHANGING THROW DIRECTION AND HEIGHT
WARNING: Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, at
bystanders, at vehicles or at nearby windows. The discharged snow and foreign
objects accidentally picked up by the snowthrower can cause serious damage
and personal injury. Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite direction
from where you, bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or windows are located.
1. The discharge chute (L, g.1) can be adjusted through180 degrees by rotating
the chute directional control (I, g.1). Rotate the handle clockwise to move the
discharge chute to the left; counterclockwise to move the chute to the right.
2. The chute deector (K, g.1) on the top of the discharge chute controls the
height of the snowstream. Loosen both chute deector knobs (J, g.1) to raise
or lower the deector to the desired height of snow you wish to throw. Tighten
the knobs to secure the deector.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the chute deector knobs.

lubricated for lifetime use at the factory before shipment.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the proper tools and
instructions for disassembly and repair of the machine.
2. Check the shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness
to ensure that the equipment is in safe working condition.
3. After each snow removal season, run the snowthrower for a few minutes to
prevent the collector/impeller from freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all
revolving parts to stop completely, and wipe residual ice and snow off the unit.
Rotate the chute direction handle several times to remove any excess snow.
REPLACING THE RUBBER PLATES
NOTE: When replacing worn rubber plates, pay close attention to carefully
distinguish between the coarse and smooth side of the plates. Place the coarse
side inside and the smooth side outside.
1. Detach the worn rubber plate by removing the two sets of nuts, bolts, and
washers used to secure it.
2. Install the new rubber plate so that the coarse side faces inward and the
smooth side faces outward.
3. Insert the bolt with the small at washer into the corresponding holes on each
end of the rubber plate. Use the large at washer and locknut to secure the bolt
on each end. Install the other rubber plate in the same way.

3. N’exposez pas l’appareillage électrique à la pluie ou à des conditions humides.
L’eau entrant dans un outil augmentera le risque de décharge électrique.
4. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon d’alimentation. N’employez jamais le cordon
pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’outil. Gardez le cordon loin de la chaleur, du
pétrole, des bords pointus ou des pièces mobiles. Un cordon endommagé
augmente les risques de choc électrique.
5. En actionnant l’outil électrique dehors, employez une corde d’extension
appropriée pour l’usage extérieur. L’utilisation d’une corde appropriée pour
l’usage extérieur réduit le risque de décharge électrique.
6. Gardez la prise hors de l’eau.
