SNOW THROWER SAFETY
WARNING: Keep hands and feet

the motor running. Stop the unit and discon-
nect from the power source before unclog-
ging snow or debris from discharge chute or

and stay alert for holes in the terrain and
other hidden hazards.

taching the snowthrower to the powerhead.

ice, thaw the unit thoroughly before attempt-
ing to operate under power.

near moving traffic.
S Clear snow from slopes by going up and
down; never across. Use caution when
changing directions. Never clear snow from
steep slopes.
S Let snowthrower run for a few minutes after
clearing snow so moving parts do not
freeze.

up. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or fal-
ling, especially when operating in reverse.
