If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position,
before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or dis­
charge guide, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or
inspections.
When clearing, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Dis­
connect the spark plug wire.
Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the
engine and for 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 ex­
treme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not
attempt to clear steep slopes.
Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards,
plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
Never operate the snow thrower near glass enclosures, auto­
mobiles, window wells, drop-offs, etc, without proper ad­
justment of the snow discharge angle. Keep children and
pets away.
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.

12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Use care when backing.
13. Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in
front of the unit.
14. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.
15. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the
manufacturer of snow thrower (such as wheel weights,
counterweights, cabs, etc).
16. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or
light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold
on the handles. Walk; never run.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, etc, at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in
safe working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a
building where open flame or sparks are present. Allow the
engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
3. Always refer to owner's manual instructions for important
details if the snow thrower is to be stofed for an ex­
tended period.
4. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
