SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care
in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when
gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
1. Use only an approved gasoline container.
2. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
3. Never fuel machine indoors.
4. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or
running.
5. Allow engine to cool at least 5 minutes before refueling.
6. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch
below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel
expansion.
7. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
8. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
Move machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes before
starting the engine. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change
clothing immediately.
9. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there
is an open flame, spark or pilot light (e.g. furnace, water
heater, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).
10. Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
OPERATION
1. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger
housing or chute assembly. Contact with the rotating parts
can amputate hands and feet.
2. The auger control lever is a safety device. Never bypass its
operation. Doing so makes the machine unsafe and may
cause personal injury.
3. The control levers must operate easily in both directions
and automatically return to the disengaged position when
released.
4. Never operate with a missing or damaged chute assembly.
Keep all safety devices in place and working.
5. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly gas.
6. Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
7. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not
touch. Keep children away.
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel surfaces. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
9. Exercise caution when changing direction and while
operating on slopes. Do not operate on steep slopes.
10. Plan your snow-blowing pattern to avoid discharge towards
windows, walls, cars etc. Thus, avoiding possible property
damage or personal injury caused by a ricochet.
11. Never direct discharge at children, bystanders and pets or
allow anyone in front of the machine.
12. Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear
snow at too fast of a rate.
13. 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.
14. Release auger control lever to disengage power to the auger
when transporting or not clearing snow.
15. Never operate machine at high transport speeds on slippery
surfaces. Look down and behind and use care when backing
up.
16. After striking a foreign object or if the machine should start
to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine, remove the safety
key or disconnect spark plug wire. Inspect thoroughly for
damage. Repair any damage before starting and operating.
