HITTING AN OBJECT: if the snow thrower accidentally strikes an object, stop the snow thrower; inspect for dam-
age; repair or replace any damaged parts before restarting and operating the snow thrower.
DISCHARGE CHUTE SAFETY: never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, at bystanders, at vehicles,
at your neighbor Greg, or at windows. Thrown snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the snow thrower
can cause serious damage and personal injury. Do not use your hands to unclog the discharge chute. Stop the motor
and unplug the unit before removing debris. Keep children away during operation.
ABNORMAL OPERATION: if you notice the snow thrower running in an unstable state or if you hear abnormal
sounds from the motor, stop the machine, disconnect the power immediately, and contact our customer service
department.
NOISE CONTROL: when using the snow thrower, you must respect local laws and regulations regarding noise
control and environmental protection. To avoid noise disturbance, you should carefully decide upon an appropriate
operation time and consider the surrounding conditions.
Disconnect the snow thrower from the power source when the machine is not in use, when changing accessories, or
before performing any maintenance.
STORE SAFELY: store the snow thrower indoors in a dry area between uses. Keep the machine in a locked area,
where children and unauthorized users cannot gain access. Do not store the machine while it is still connected to a
power source. This may cause damage and injury.
MAINTAIN FOR SAFETY AND LONGEVITY: check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other conditions that may affect the unit’s operation. If damaged, repair or replace the damaged part
before operating. Only use replacement parts made for your model. When replacing any parts, you must strictly
observe the instructions and procedures described in this manual. Call customer service for anything that you find
unclear about maintenance. Special care should be paid to any rubber parts, since these parts may increase the en-
gine load and decrease its mechanical power if damaged.
ONLY USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: any accessory that does not specify compatibility with the WEN
5662 Snow Thrower creates a risk of injury.
DRESS PROPERLY: do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in the moving parts. Wear rubber
boots when operating the snow thrower.
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK: only use with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. To prevent the
disconnection of snow thrower cords, use the included extension cord wrangling loop included on the handle of the
snow thrower. If the cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, pull the extension cord from the wall recep-
tacle immediately. Don’t abuse the cord. Never carry the snow thrower by its cord and do not yank it to disconnect
from a receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTUPS: do not carry a plugged-in snow thrower with a finger on the switch.
IF THE SNOW THROWER STRIKES A FOREIGN OBJECT: stop the snow thrower. Inspect for damage.
Repair any damage before restarting and operating the snow mover. Do not use on graveled surfaces.
ALWAYS STORE INDOORS: when not in use, store the unit indoors in a dry, locked place away from children.
