• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light (e.g. furnace,
water heater, 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 gas cans with nozzle lock-open devices.
Operation
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove
the wire from the spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the
snow blower for any damage. Repair any damage found
before restarting and operating the snow blower.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally. Stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
• Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position,
before unclogging the auger housing or discharge chute,
and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
• When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the snow blower,
stop the engine and make certain the collector and all
moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire
and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent someone
from accidentally starting the engine.
• Before leaving the machine unattended, disengage all the
controls, put it into neutral gear, stop the engine, and
remove the safety key.
• Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the
engine and for transporting the snow blower in or out
of the building. ALWAYS open the outside doors; exhaust
fumes are dangerous.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.

• Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.
• Never operate the snow blower without proper guards,
and other safety protective devices in place and working.
• Never operate the snow blower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, window wells, etc. without proper
adjustment of the snow discharge angle. Keep children
and pets away.
• Never direct discharge toward people or areas where
property damage can occur. Keep children and others away.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when operating
in reverse.
• Disengage power to the collector / impeller the snow
blower is being transported or not in use.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the
manufacturer of the snow blower (such as wheel
weights, counterweights, cabs, etc.).
• Never operate the snow blower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
• Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
• Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine
unattended. Disconnect the power take-off and stop the
engine.
• keep all nuts, blots and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition;
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety; Use only
genuine replacement parts and accessories.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving auger and
fixed parts of the machine.
• Do not touch engine components because they are warm
during use. Risk of burn injuries.

Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snow blowers. Never use your hand to clean out the
discharge chute.
WARNING: Hand contact with the rotating impeller
inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with a snow blower. Always ensure the
snow blower is turned off and the auger and rotating
impeller are not spinning before clearing them of snow
and ice. Always use a clean-out tool (not provided) to
clear ice and snow.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.

Maintenance and Storage
• Check shear bolts, engine mounted bolts, and other bolts
at frequent intervals for proper tightness to sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a
building where ignition sources are present such as hot
water and space heaters, clothes dryers, or other dryers.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
• Always refer to operator's manual for important details if
the snow blower is to be stored for an extended period.
• Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels as necessary.
• Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent freeze-up of the collector / impeller.
