Safety To ensure maximum safety, best performance, and to gain knowledge of the product, it is essential that you and any other operator of the snowthrower read and understand the contents of this manual before the motor is ever started. Pay particular attention to the safety alert symbol which means CAUTION, WARNING, OR DANGER — “personal safety instruction.” Read and understand the instruction because it has to do with safety. Failure to comply with instruction may result in personal injury. The snowthrower is designed and tested to offer reasonably safe service; however, failure to comply with the following instructions may result in personal injury. General Snowthrower Safety The following instructions have been adapted from the ANSI/OPEI standard B71.3—1995 and ISO standard 8437:1989. Information or terminology specific to Toro snowthrowers is enclosed in parenthesis. Training • Read the operator’s manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly. • Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment 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 equipment 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 equipment 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. • Use only the power cord supplied with the snowthrower and a receptacle appropriate for use with the cord for electric starting motors. • Adjust the collector (auger) housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface. (This is not necessary on single-stage snowthrowers). • Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specifically recommended by manufacturer (Toro). • 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 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 snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowthrower. • If the unit 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 (auger)/impeller housing or discharge guide (chute), and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections. • When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/impeller (auger/impeller or rotor blades) and all moving parts have stopped.
