DANGER
Avoid death or serious injury from rotating auger.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away.
Unclogging discharge chute is a hazardous activity.
• Never attempt to clear auger of debris or clogged snow while equipment is
engaged or engine is running. Clogged or blocked augers store energy
and can rotate unexpectedly, EVEN WITH ENGINE OFF.
• Stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire when performing maintenance
on equipment.
• Never leave the equipment unattended while engine is running. Always
disengage the auger and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.
• Keep children, pets, and others out of the area during operation. Children
are often attracted to the equipment. Be mindful of all persons present.
• Keep all loose clothing far away from front of snow thrower and auger.
Scarves, mittens, dangling drawstrings, loose clothes and pants can
quickly become caught in the rotating device and dismemberment will
occur. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• The snow thrower is intended to remove snow only. Do not use for
purposes other than what is intended.
• Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.
• Do not use the snow thrower on surfaces above ground level such as roofs
of residences, garages, porches or other such structures or buildings.
DANGER
Discharge chute contains rotating impeller to throw snow.
Never clear or unclog discharge chute with your hands, or
while engine is running.
Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic
amputation or severe laceration can result.
• Unclogging the discharge chute is a hazardous activity. Clogged or
blocked augers store energy and can rotate unexpectedly.
• Never place hands in or near discharge chute.
• With engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to cease movement, then with a
stick, clear the chute. Even with engine off, parts may rotate and
dismemberment can occur.
• Clogged snow can hide other obstructions in the chute and cause damage
to the equipment, impeller or auger. Take precautions when restating the
equipment after snow removal.
DANGER
Objects can be picked up by auger and thrown from chute.
Never throw snow toward people or cars, and never allow
anyone in front of the snow thrower.
• Be aware of your environment while operating equipment. Running over
items such as gravel, doormats, newspapers, toys, and rocks hidden
under snow, can all be thrown from chute or jam in the auger.
• Always be aware of the direction the snow is being thrown. Nearby
pedestrians, pets or property may be harmed by objects being thrown.
• Familiarize yourself with the area you plan to work. Mark off boundaries of
walkways and driveways to prevent property damage from thrown objects.
• Take caution when snow throwing in unfamiliar areas. Stay alert for hidden
hazards and traffic.
• After striking a foreign object, turn engine OFF, wait for moving parts to
cease movement, and check immediately for damage. If damaged, repair
before starting and operating snow thrower.
• With engine OFF, wait for moving parts to stop and always use a stick to
clear discharge chute.
• If unit vibrates abnormally, turn engine OFF. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble. See an authorized dealer if necessary for repairs.

Rotating gears can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair,
clothing, or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
• Always operate equipment with all guards in place.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating gears.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could
become caught.
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not start or run engine in enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing
gas cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Do not overfill fuel tank.
• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.
WHEN STARTING ENGINE
• Make sure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place.
• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• If engine floods, set choke to OPEN/RUN position, place throttle in FAST
and crank until engine starts.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
• Do not choke carburetor to stop engine.
WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT
• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY.
WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that
have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline
vapors.
Starting engine creates sparking.
Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.
Explosion and fire could result.
• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.
• Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.
