3 SAFTY IFORMATIO Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. Work Area Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered, dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate snow thrower in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. lectrical appliances create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from work area. e aware that the normal noise of the machine when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people. lectrical Safety lectrical plugs must match the outlet. ever modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not abuse the cord. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. ever carry the snow thrower by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Replace or properly repair damaged cords. If cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, pull the extension cord from the wall receptacle. Contact with water while operating the snow thrower can result in electric shock and serious bodily injury. Do not use the snow thrower in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Do not handle the plug or the appliance with wet hands or while standing in water. xtension Cord - WARIG - Only use a UL-rated extension cord for OUTDOOR, all-weather use (usually orange color). To prevent the extension cord from disconnecting during operation, tie it around the top right side of the middle frame before connecting it to the snow thrower as shown in Figure on page. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cable before inspecting, servicing, repairing, or cleaning the snow thrower. Any such operation should be performed after revolving parts inside the snow thrower stop completely. Do not move or transport the snow thrower when the plug is connected to the power socket and the switch is turned on. Personal Safety Stay alert - Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the snow thrower. Do not use the machine when tired, ill, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention may result in serious personal injury. Wear proper clothing - Wearing rubber boots offers additional protection from electric shock. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may become caught in the machine. Wear protective headgear to keep hair away from revolving parts of the machine. Safety glasses offer better protection than everyday eyeglasses. Moving parts present risks - Keep your face, hair, clothing, hands and feet away from moving parts. All guards and safety attachments must be installed properly before using the unit. Shut off and disconnect cord before touching any parts other than the handles and switch. Surfaces - This snow thrower is intended for use on paved surfaces. Do not use on gravel, stone, or other unpaved surfaces unless the snow thrower is adjusted for such surfaces according to the instructions given in the operator s manual. Avoid accidental starting - Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in the unit. Do not carry the snow thrower with your finger on the switch. 5 SAFTY IFORMATIO ody position - Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Place heels firmly on the ground and tightly grasp the handle bar. Watch for uneven surfaces and do not overreach. In case you fall or collide with the snow thrower, inspect the unit for damage.

Do not use this machine for any purpose other than the one for which it was designed. Otherwise, it may cause mechanical defaults, serious damage or personal injury. Preliminary unit inspection - Thoroughly inspect the unit before use. Make sure all the parts are secure and installed correctly. If you notice any abnormalities, do not use the machine until it has been properly repaired. Always perform a test run the first time you use the snow thrower or after replacing parts to ensure that the unit is functioning properly. Preliminary area inspection - Clear the area to be plowed before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, which can be thrown by or become entangled in the snow thrower. Keep the area of operation clear of other people and pets. xcessive force - The snow thrower was designed to respond at a certain rate for various snow conditions for optimum safety and performance. Do not force it; keep pressure constant. Malfunctioning switch - Do not use the snow thrower if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any electrical appliance that cannot be controlled by the switch is not safe to use and must be repaired. Hitting an object - If the snow thrower accidentally strikes an object, stop the snow thrower; inspect for damage; repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the snow thrower. Discharge chute safety - ever direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, at bystanders, at vehicles or at windows. Thrown snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the snow thrower can cause serious damage and personal injury. Do not use your hands to unclog the discharge chute. Stop the motor before removing debris. Abnormal operation - If you notice the snow thrower running in an unstable state or hear abnormal sounds from the engine, stop the machine, disconnect the power immediately, and contact your original distributor. oise control - When using the snow thrower, you must respect local laws and regulations regarding noise control and environmental protection. To avoid noise disturbance, you should carefully decide upon an appropriate operation time and consider the surrounding conditions. When work is completed - Disconnect the snow thrower from the power source when not in use, when changing accessories, and before performing any maintenance. Store safely - Store snow thrower indoors in a dry area between uses. Keep in a locked area where children and unauthorized users cannot gain access. Do not store the machine while it is still connected to the power source. It may cause damage and injury. Maintain for safety and longevity - Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect the unit s operation. If damaged, repair or replace the damaged part before use. Use only those replacement parts made for your model. When replacing any parts, you must strictly observe the instructions and procedures described in this manual.
