SNOW THROWER SAFETY

WARNING:

Keep hands and feet

away from the rotor when starting or running

the unit. Never attempt to clear the rotor with

the motor running. Stop the unit and discon-

nect from the power source before unclog-

ging snow or debris from discharge chute or

when adjusting vanes.

WARNING:

Never lean over dis-

charge chute. Rocks or debris could be

thrown into the eyes and face and cause seri-

ous injury or blindness.

WARNING:

Inspect the area where

the unit is to be used. Remove objects that

could be thrown or damage the unit. Some ob-

jects may be hidden by fallen snow -- be alert

for the possibility.
S

Direct material discharge away from glass

enclosures, automobiles, etc.

Do not run motor at high speed while not re-

moving snow.

Be attentive when using the snowthrower,

and stay alert for holes in the terrain and

other hidden hazards.

Make sure the rotor will spin freely before

attaching the snowthrower to the power-

head.

If the rotor will not rotate freely due to frozen

ice, thaw the unit thoroughly before attempt-

ing to operate under power.

Keep the rotor clear of debris.

Do not throw snow near other people. The

snow thrower could propel small objects at

high speed causing injury.

After striking a foreign object, stop the unit,

disconnect from the power source and in-

spect the snowthrower for damage and re-

pair if necessary before restarting unit.

Never operate the snowthrower near glass

enclosures, automobiles and trucks.

Never attempt to use the snowthrower on a

roof.

Never operate the snowthrower near win-

dow wells, dropoffs, etc.

Never discharge snow onto public roads or

near moving traffic.

Clear snow from slopes by going up and

down; never across. Use caution when

changing directions. Never clear snow from

steep slopes.

Let snowthrower run for a few minutes after

clearing snow so moving parts do not

freeze.

Look behind and use care when backing

up. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or fal-

ling, especially when operating in reverse.

Know how to stop quickly.
