WARNING
This unit is a “two-stage” snowthrower.
The first stage is the auger, which feeds the snow
back into the impeller housing. The second stage is
the impeller, which throws the snow out the dis-
charge chute. If bodily contact is made with the auger
or impeller when they are rotating, severe personal
injury will occur.
To avoid injury, keep others and yourself away from
the auger and the discharge chute whenever the
engine is running. Read and follow all of the safety
rules and warnings in this manual.
