Safety
Moving Parts
This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else.
However, if you are standing in the operator’s position, and follow all the rules
in this book, the unit is safe to operate.
The auger and impeller have spinning parts that can amputate hands and feet.
Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running! DO NOT clear the
discharge chute by hand. If the chute becomes plugged, stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and clear the blockage with a clean-out tool or
piece of wood.
To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is equipped with an
operator-present safety system. Do NOT attempt to alter or bypass the
system. See your dealer immediately if the system does not pass all the
safety interlock system tests found in this manual.
Thrown Objects
This unit has a spinning auger and impeller.
They pick up and throw snow and ice. Thrown
debris could seriously injure a bystander.
ALWAYS direct the discharge chute away from
bystanders and property that could be damaged
by flying debris. Be sure to clean up the area to
be cleared BEFORE you start.
Do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is
running! If someone does enter the area, shut
the unit off immediately until they leave.
Fuel and Maintenance
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also
extremely flammable and can travel to distant ignition
sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not as
a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any
place where its vapors can build up or travel to an
ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an
approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the
snowthrower fuel tank with the cap securely closed.
Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and
performance of your unit. Be sure to perform the
maintenance procedures listed in this manual,
especially periodically testing the safety system.
