• After striking a foreign object, turn the powerhead off
and inspect the snow thrower for damage. For gas
powerheads: Remove wire from the spark plug. For
electric powerheads: Disconnect the cord. Repair
damage before restarting and operating the unit.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
powerhead and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• Stop the powerhead whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the rotor or discharge
vanes, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or
inspections.
• Clear snow from slopes by going up and down. Never
go across the slope. Use caution when changing
directions. Never clear snow from steep slopes.
• Never attempt to use the snow thrower on a roof or
any steep, inclined, slippery surfaces.
• Never operate snow thrower without proper guards,
plates or other safety protective devices in place.
• Never operate the snow thrower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, trucks, window wells, dropoffs, etc.
without proper adjustment of the snow discharge
angle. Keep children and pets away.
• Don't force or overload the snow thrower. Snow
thrower will perform at its best and safest when run at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
backing.
• Never direct discharge towards people or allow anyone in
front of the unit while operating.
• Disengage power to the rotor when snow thrower is
transported or not in use.
• Make sure the rotor will spin freely before attaching the
snow thrower to the powerhead.
• If the rotor will not rotate freely due to frozen ice, thaw
the unit thoroughly before attempting to operate it
under power.
• Keep the rotor clear of debris.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
• Never discharge snow onto public roads or near
moving traffic.
• Let snow thrower run for a few minutes after clearing
snow so moving parts do not freeze.
• Never operate without good visibility or light. Always
be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the
handles. Walk; never run.
