Toro Snowthrower Safety
The following list contains safety information specific
to Toro machines or other safety information that you
must know.
•
Rotating auger/impeller can cut off or injure
fingers or hands.
Stay behind the handles and away
from the discharge opening while operating the
machine.
Keep your face, hands, feet, and any
other part of your body or clothing away from
moving or rotating parts.
•
Before adjusting, cleaning, inspecting,
troubleshooting, or repairing the machine,
stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop. Disconnect the wire from
the spark plug and keep it away from the spark
plug to prevent someone from accidentally
starting the engine.
•
Before
leaving the operating position, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
•
To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the operating
position and release the left hand (traction) lever.
While running the auger/impeller, push down on
the handles to raise the front of the machine a few
inches (centimeters) off the pavement. Then lift the
handles quickly to bump the front of the machine on
the pavement. Repeat if necessary until a stream of
snow comes out the discharge chute.
•
If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by bumping
the front of the machine,
stop the engine, wait for
all moving parts to stop, and use the cleanout
tool; never use your hand.
•
If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged,
illegible, or lost, repair or replace it before beginning
operation.
•
Do not
smoke while handling gasoline.
•
Do not
use the machine on a roof.
•
Do not touch the engine while it is running or soon
after it has stopped because the engine may be hot
enough to cause a burn.
•
Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. Before performing any
maintenance, service, or adjustment, stop the engine,
remove the key, and disconnect the wire from the
spark plug. If major repairs are ever needed, contact
your Authorized Service Dealer.
•
Do not change the governor settings on the engine.
•
When storing the machine for more than 30 days,
drain the fuel from the fuel tank to prevent a
potential hazard. Store fuel in an approved fuel
