Training
1. Read this owner/operator manual and
the separate engine owner manual
carefully before operating the unit. Be
completely familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the unit. A
replacement manual is available by
contacting the factory.
2. Never allow children or untrained
adults to use the unit.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all
people, particularly small children and
pets. Keep bystanders at least 25 feet
away from the area of operation.
4. Familiarize yourself with all of the
safety and operating decals on the
unit and on any attachments or
accessories.
5. Do not run the engine in an enclosed
area. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide gas, a deadly poison that is
odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Do
not operate the unit near buildings,
windows, or air conditioners.
6. Keep hands or any other part of the
body or clothing away from the inside
of the auger housing, discharge
opening, or moving parts.
7. Before inspecting, servicing or
adjusting any part of the unit, shut the
engine off, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and disconnect the spark plug
wire from the spark plug. Secure the
wire away from the spark plug.
8. Do not operate the unit if you are
under the influence of alcohol,
medication, or when tired or ill.
Preparation
1. Wear approved safety glasses or eye
shields and hearing protection when
operating the unit. The operation of
any powered machine can result in
foreign objects being thrown by high-
speed rotating parts.
2. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing,
such as scarves, which could be
caught by moving parts. Tie up or
restrain long hair.

SPARK ARRESTER WARNING TO
RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA AND
SEVERAL OTHER STATES
Under California law, and under the
laws of several other states, you are
not permitted to operate an internal
combustion engine using
hydrocarbon fuels on any forest,
brush, hay, grain, or grass covered
land; or land covered by any flammable agricultural crop without an engine spark arrester in continuous effective
working order.
The engine on the unit is an internal combustion engine which burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel, and must be
equipped with a spark arrester muffler in continuous effective working order. The spark arrester must be attached to the
engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite flammable material. Failure
of the owner/operator of the unit to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California law (and other states)
and may also be a violation of other state and/or federal regulations, laws, ordinances or codes. Contact your local fire
marshal or forest service for specific information about which regulations apply in your area.
