AAVIX AGT3420, Owner'S Manual

5

Learn your snow thrower’s applications
and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this
machine. Do not use this machine for
any purpose other than the one for
which it was designed. Otherwise, it
may cause mechanical defects, serious
damage, or personal injury.
2. Preliminary unit inspection.
Thoroughly inspect the unit before use.
Make sure all the parts are secure and
installed correctly. If you notice any
abnormalities, do not use the machine
until it has been properly repaired.
Always perform a test run the first time
you use the snow thrower or after
replacing parts to ensure that the unit is
functioning properly.
3. Preliminary area inspection. Clear
the area to be plowed before each use.
Remove all objects, such as rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, or string, which
can be thrown by or become entangled
in the snow thrower. Keep the area of
operation clear of all spectators,
particularly children and pets.
4. Excessive force. The snow thrower
was designed to respond at a certain
rate for various snow conditions for
optimum safety and performance. Do
not force it; keep pressure constant.
5. Malfunctionning switch. Do not use
the snow thrower if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any electrical
appliance that cannot be controlled by
the switch is not safe to use and must
be repaired.
6. Hitting an object. If the snow
thrower accidentally strikes an object,
follow these steps:
i) Stop the snow thrower and unplug

the unit.
ii) Inspect for damage.
iii) Repair or replace any damaged part
before restarting and operating the
snow thrower.
7.Discharge chute safety. Never direct
the snow discharge chute at the
operator, at bystanders, at vehicles, or
at windows. The discharged snow
stream 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
before removing debris.
8. Hand-held operating position.
Operation of the snow thrower in the
hand-held position is unsafe.
9. Abnormal operation. If you notice
the snow thrower running in an
unstable state or hear abnormal sounds
from the engine, immediately stop the
machine, disconnect the power, and
contact the AAVIX service center.
10. Noise control. When using the
snow thrower. You must respect local
laws and regulations regarding noise
control and enviromental protection. To
avoid noise disturbance, you should
carefully decide upon an appropriate
operation time and consider the
surrounding conditions.
11. When work is completed.
Disconnect the snow thrower from the
power source when not in use, when
changing accessories, and before
performing any maintenance function.
12. Store safely. Store the snnow
thrower indoors in a dry area between
uses. Keep it in a locked area, where
children and unauthorized users cannot
