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. 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. 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.

WARNING

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 wellventilated 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.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

WARNING: This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.
Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence controls to minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator presence control under any circumstances.
8. Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow. 9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine. 10. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place.

Training

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manuals before operating this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly. 2. Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction. 3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. 4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating in reverse.

Operation

1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. 2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. 3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowthrower. 4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. 5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections. 6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. 7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CARBON MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS). 8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes. 9. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place and working. 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 snowthrower is transported or not in use. 14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snowthrower (such as cabs, tire chains, etc.). 15. Never operate the snowthrower 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. 17. Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells, dropoffs, and the like without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the operating activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. 1. Keep children out of the area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult. 2. Be alert and turn off if children enter the area. 3. Never allow children to operate the unit. 4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Clearing A Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute. To clear the chute: 1. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. 2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating. 3. Always use a clean out tool, not your hands.

Emissions

1. Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. 2. If available, look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index information on the engine emissions label.
Service, Maintenance And Storage Ignition System
1. Check shear bolts (pins) and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. 1. This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.
