SNOW BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE

Using a snow blower indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Snow blower exhaust contains carbon monoxide

(CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the snow blower exhaust, you are breathing

CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

NEVER use a snow blower inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially enclosed areas. Deadly

levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT

supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a snow blower outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These

openings can pull in snow blower exhaust.

Even if you use a snow blower correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-

backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the snow blower has been running,

move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: This snow blower may emit highly flammable

and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby open flame can

lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.

• Do not operate near open flame, heat, or any other ignition source. Do not smoke near the snow blower.

• Always operate on a firm, level surface.

• Always turn snow blower off before refueling. Allow the snow blower to cool for at least 2 minutes before

removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow for

expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.

• If fuel spills, move the snow blower at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe clean any spilled fuel before

starting the engine.

• Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the snow blower.
