Instructions / Assembly

7
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light (e.g.
furnace, water heats, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).
• Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
• If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock open device.
OPERATION
• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger impeller housing or chute assembly. Contact
with the rotating parts can amputate hands and feet.
• The auger impeller control lever is a safety device. Never bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
machine unsafe and may cause personal injury.
• The control levers must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged
position when released.
• Never operate with a missing or damaged chute assembly. Keep all safety devices in place and
working.
• Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly gas.
• Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a bum. Do not touch. Keep children away.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel surfaces. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or traffic.
• Exercise caution when changing direction and while operating on slopes.
• Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge towards windows, walls, cars etc. Thus, avoiding
possible property damage or personal injury caused by a ricochet.
• Never direct discharge at children, bystanders and pets or allow anyone in front of the machine.
• Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast of a rate.
• Never operate this machine without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing and keep
a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run.
