SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on
yourself or your clothes which can ignite, therefore wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
•
Use only an approved gasoline container.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
•
Never fuel snow thrower unit's engine indoors.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running.
•
Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
•
Never over fill fuel tank.
•
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
•
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5
minutes before starting the engine.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light (e.g.
furnace, water heats, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).
•
Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
•
If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.
•
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
•
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock open device.
OPERATION
•
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger impeller housing or chute assembly. Contact
with the rotating parts can amputate hands and feet.
•
The auger (impeller) control lever is a safety device. Never bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
machine unsafe and may cause personal injury.
•
The control levers must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged
(vertical) position when released.
•
Never operate with a missing or damaged chute assembly. Keep all safety devices in place and
working.
•
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly gas.
•
Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Muffler and engine become hot and can cause burning. Do not touch. Keep children away.
•
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel surfaces. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or traffic.
•
Exercise caution when changing direction and while operating on slopes.
•
Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid snow discharge towards windows, walls, cars etc., thus
avoiding possible property damage or personal injury caused by a ricocheting debris.
•
Never direct discharge at children, bystanders and pets or allow anyone in front of the machine.
•
Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast of a rate.... Remember!
Slow and steady operation is best to avoid clogs of snow being impelled too rapidly.
•
Never operate this machine without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing and keep
a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run.
•
Disengage power to the auger system (auger/impeller) by releasing the auger control (lever) when
transporting or not in use.
•
Never operate machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look down and behind and use
care when backing up.
