Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Snow
Throwers
Training
1. Read, understand and follow all instructions on
the machine and in the manual before operating
this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the equipment. Know
how to stop the unit and disengage the controls
quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate the equipment.
Never allow adults to operate the equipment
without proper instruction.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children.
4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling,
especially when operating the snow thrower in
reverse.
Preparation
1 Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other
foreign objects.
2 Do not operate the equipment without wearing
adequate winter garments. Wear footwear
which will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
3 Adjust the collector housing height to clear
gravel or crushed rock surface.
4 Never attempt to make any adjustments while
the motor is running (except where specically
recommended by manufacturer).
5 The operation of any powered machine can
result in foreign objects being thrown into
the eyes. Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields during operation or while performing an
adjustment or repair.
Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert
for hidden hazards or trafc.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor,
remove the battery pack from the machine,
thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any
damage, and repair the damage before restarting
and operating the snow thrower.
4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the motor and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
5. Stop the motor whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the auger housing or
discharge chute, and when making any repairs,
adjustments or inspections.
6. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the
snow thrower, stop the motor and make certain
the auger and all moving parts have stopped.
Remove the battery pack from the machine to
prevent someone from accidentally starting the
motor.
7. Exercise extreme caution when operating on
slopes.
8. Never operate the snow thrower without proper
guards, and other safety protective devices in
place and working.
9. Never direct the discharge toward people or
areas where property damage can occur. Keep
children and others away.
10. Do not overload the machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
11. Never operate the machine at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and
use care when operating in reverse.
12. Disengage power to the auger when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.
13. Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as
wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs).
14. Never operate the snow thrower without good
visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing,
and keep a rm hold on the handles. Walk; never
run.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with snow throwers. Never use
your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE MOTOR OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades
have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
Maintenance and storage
1 Check motor-mounted bolts, etc., at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
2 Always refer to owner’s guide instructions for
important details if the snowthrower is to be
stored for an extended period
3 Maintain or replace safety and instructions
