CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

•  Read and observe the safety rules.
•  Follow a regular schedule in maintaining, caring for 

and using your snow thrower.

• 

Follow the instructions under “Maintenance” and “Stor-

 age” sec tions of this own er’s manual.

6.  When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow thrower, 

stop the engine and make certain the collector/impel-

ler 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.

7.  Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting 

the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or 

out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust 

fumes are dangerous.

8.  Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
9.  Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards, 

and other safety protective devices in place and work-

ing.

10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas 

where property damage can occur.  Keep children and 

others away.

11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting 

to clear snow at too fast a rate.

12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds 

on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when 

operating in reverse.

13.  Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow 

thrower is transported or not in use.

14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by 

the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel 

weights, counterweights, or cabs).

15.  Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility 

or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm 

hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

16.  Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

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 throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis-

charge chute.  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

1.  Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals 

for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe 

working condition.

2.  Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank 

inside a building where ignition sources are present 

such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes 

dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any 

enclosure.

3.  Always refer to operator’s manual for important details 

if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended 

period.

4.  Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as  

necessary.

5.  Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow 

to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
