The operation of any snow thrower can result
in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Always wear
safety glasses or eye shields while operating
your snow thrower or performing any ad just -
ments or repairs. We recommend standard safe ty glasses
or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, small children and pets at all
times including startup.
WARNING: If the discharge chute or
au ger become clogged, shut-off en gine
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Use
the clean-out tool, NOT YOUR HANDS,

ward on discharge chute control lever and move lever
left or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure

a short distance; set the deflector higher to throw snow farther.
