This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death. Improperly using or maintaining this machine could result in injury or death. To reduce this potential, comply with the following safety instructions. Training • Read the operating and service instruction manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine. Know how to stop the machine and disengage the controls quickly. • Never allow children to operate the machine. Never allow adults to operate the machine without proper instruction. • Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets. • Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse. Preparation • Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects. • Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine. • Do not operate the machine without wearing adequate winter garments. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery surfaces. • Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. – Use an approved fuel container. – Never add fuel to a running or hot engine. – Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors. – Replace gasoline caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel. • Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface. • Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except where specifically recommended by manufacturer). • Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow. • The operation of any powered machine can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes. Always 2 wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair. Operation • Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. • Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. • After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark-plug, thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the machine. • If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. • Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge guide, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections. • When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark-plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. • Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting it and for moving the machine in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous. • Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes. • Never operate the machine without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place. • Never operate the machine near glass enclosures, automobiles, window wells, drop-offs, etc. without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle. Keep children and pets away. • Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. • Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces.
