the engine, remove the key, wait the moving
parts stop, and carefully inspect the machine to
check there is no damage. Vibrations are
normally synonymous with a problem. Repair
any damage before re-using the machine.
• Before leaving the machine, disconnect all the
commands and remove the ignition key from its
slot on the machine.
• Before
carrying
inspections or adjustments, switch off the
engine, remove the key and wait the moving
parts stop (unless otherwise indicated in the
instructions). Disconnect the cable on electric
motors. (Optional).
• Do not touch the engine parts which heat up
during use. Burns hazard.
• Never operate the snow thrower at high
transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use
care when reversing. Look behind you to make
sure there are no obstacles before and during
operations in reverse gear.
• Disengage power to the auger when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.
• Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handle. Walk never run.
Use limitations
• Do not use the machine sideways on a slope.
Always move from top to bottom, then from
bottom to top. Exercise caution when changing
direction on a slope. Avoid steep slopes.
• Do not use the machine if the guards are
insufficient or if the safety devices are not
correctly positioned.
• Never disengage or tamper with the safety
systems.
• Do not alter the engine adjustments, nor over-
run it. If the engine is forced to work with an
excessive number of rotations, the risk of
personal injury increases.

fast.
• Do not place hands inside the chute or the
auger without firstly switching off the engine
and removing the key.
