Any power equipment can cause injury if operated improperly or if the user does not understand how to operate the
equipment. Exercise caution at all times, when using power equipment.
Read this owner's manual carefully and know how to •
operate your snow thrower and 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,
•
especially small children, and pets.
Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility
•
or light.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is
•
to be used and remove all door mats, sleds, boards,
wires and other foreign objects.
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
•
starting engine.
Do not operate equipment without wearing adequate
•
winter outer garments.
Wear substantial footwear which will protect feet and
•
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
Never operate the ATV snow thrower without attaching
•
the clip of the tethered safety switch to your clothing. A
riderless ATV with a running snow thrower could cause
serious injury to a fallen operator or to others.
Check fuel before starting the engine. Do not remove
•
the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running or hot. Do not fill the fuel tank indoors. Gasoline
is an extremely flammable fuel.
Make sure the snow thrower height is adjusted to clear
•
the type of surface it will be used on.
Never make any adjustments while the engine is
•
running.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shield during
•
operation or while performing adjustment or repair.
Do not place hands or feet near rotating parts. Keep
•
clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Use extreme caution when operating on or crossing
•
gravel surfaces.
Do not carry passengers.
•
After striking a foreign object, stop the snow thrower •
and ATV, set the brake on the ATV, remove the wire
from the spark plug on the snow thrower and then
thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for damage.
Repair any damage before restarting and operating
the snow thrower.
If the snow thrower starts to vibrate abnormally, •
stop the snow thrower and ATV immediately, set the
brake on the ATV, remove the spark plug on the snow
thrower and check for the cause. Vibration is generally
a warning of trouble.
Stop the snow thrower engine and remove the spark
•
plug wire whenever you leave the operating position,
before unclogging the snow thrower or making any
adjustments or inspections.
Take all possible precautions when leaving the unit
•
unattended. Disengage the clutch lever, lower the
snow thrower, set the parking brake, turn off the ATV
and snow thrower engines and remove the keys.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain
•
all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark
plug wire and keep it away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Do not run engine indoors except when transporting
•
the snow thrower 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. Refer to the slope
guide on page 34 of this manual.
Never operate the snow thrower without guards, plates
•
or other safety protection devices in place.
Never operate the snow thrower near glass enclosures,
•
automobiles, window wells, drop offs etc. without proper
adjustment of the snow thrower discharge angle.
Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone
•
in front of the snow thrower.
Never run the snow thrower into material at high
•
speeds.
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
•
clear snow at too fast a rate.
Never operate the machine at high transport speed
•
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
backing up.
Watch for traffic and stay alert when crossing or
•
operating near roadways.
Disengage power to the snow thrower when
•
transporting or when not in use.
