particularly small children, and pets.

sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
• Use extension cords and receptacles as
specified by the manufacturer for all snow
throwers with electric drive motors or with
factory-installed or optional starting motors.
• Use only attachments and accessories ap-

visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing,
and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk;
never run.

driveways, and other ground level surfaces.
CAUTION should be exercised while using on
steep stoping surfaces. DO NOT USE SNOW

garages, porches or other such structures or
buildings.
• Check all bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to be sure the snow thrower is in safe

• Let engine and snow thrower adjust to outdoor
temperatures before starting to clear snow.

eign objects that may be thrown from the snow
thrower.

crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at
all times.

especially when operating in reverse or back-
ing up.
