Do not operate on steep slopes. Do not clear snow across the 
face of slopes. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do 
not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Use a slow speed 
to avoid stops or shifts on slopes. Avoid starting or stopping 
on a slope. Do not park machine on a slope unless absolutely 
necessary. When parking on a slope, always block the wheels.

Disengage power to the auger/impeller when transporting or not 
in use.

Disengage all control levers and stop engine before you leave the 
operating position (behind the handles). Wait until the auger/ 
impeller comes to a complete stop before unclogging the chute 
assembly, making any adjustments, or inspections.

Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge 
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snow 
throwers. Do not unclog chute assembly while engine is running. 
Shut off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts 
have stopped before unclogging. never put your hand in the 
discharge or collector openings. Always use the clean-out tool 
provided to unclog the discharge opening.

Check clutch and brake operation frequently. Adjust and service 
as required. All motion of drive wheels and auger/impeller must 
stop quickly when control levers are released. 

Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperature before 
starting to clear snow.

Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at 
too fast of a rate.

Do not throw snow any higher than necessary.

Adjust auger housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock 
surfaces. Exercise extreme caution when operating.

Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when 
operating in reverse. never operate machine at high transport 
speeds on slippery surfaces. Always look down and behind before 
and while backing.

Open the top of box and remove all the loosen parts. Lift off the carton and dispose of properly. (See
