RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING: This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Read these safety
rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe
personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in text
signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.
Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence controls
to minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with
such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator
presence control under any circumstances.
Training
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the
manuals 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 and pets.
4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating 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. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine
(motor).
3. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter outer
garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts.
4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
a. Use an approved fuel container.
b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank
indoors. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
d. 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.
e. When practical, remove gas−powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel
such on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
f. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container
opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle
lock−open device.
g. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
h. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
5. Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer
for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.
6. Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surfaces.
7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is
running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).
8. Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures
before starting to clear snow.
9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while
performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects
that may be thrown from the machine.
10.Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates or other
safety protective devices in place.
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 traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire
from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly
inspect snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snowthrower.
4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position,
before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute and
when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for
transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside
doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CARBON
MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not attempt to
clear steep slopes.
9. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other
safety protective devices in place and working.
10.Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property
damage can occur. Keep children and others away.
11.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. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse.
13.Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is
transported or not in use.
14.Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of
the snowthrower (such as cabs, tire chains, etc.).
15.Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always be
sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never
run.
16.Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
17.Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures, automobiles,
window wells, drop−offs, and the like without proper adjustment of the
snow discharge angle.

the engine, follow the instructions below.
1. Pull as much starter rope as possible out of
the starter.
2. Release the starter handle and let it snap
back against the starter. Repeat until the
engine starts.
Warm engines will cause condensation in cold
weather. To prevent possible freeze−up of recoil
starter and engine controls, proceed as follows
after each snow removal job.
1. Run the snow thrower a few minutes after
throwing snow to prevent freeze−up of the
auger/impeller.
2. With engine off, allow engine to cool for
several minutes.
3. Pull starter rope very slowly until resistance
is felt, then stop. Allow the starter rope to
recoil. Repeat three times.
4. With the engine not running, wipe all snow
and moisture from the carburetor cover in
area of controls and levers. Also, move the
choke control and starter handle several
times.
How To Remove Snow or Debris From
The Auger Housing
WARNING: Do not attempt to
remove snow or debris that may
become lodged in auger housing
with your hands. Use the clean−out tool or
a pry bar to remove snow or debris.
(Figure 7) On some models, a clean−out tool
(1) is attached to the top of the auger housing.
Use the clean−out tool (1) to remove snow
from the auger housing.
1. Release the auger drive lever (5).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the safety key (8).
4. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
5. Do not place your hands in the auger
housing (4) or the discharge chute (3).
6. (Figure 7) Use the clean-out tool (1) or a
pry bar to remove any snow or debris.
Snow Throwing Tips
1. For maximum snow thrower efficiency in
removing snow, adjust ground speed. Go
slower in deep, freezing or wet snow. If the
wheels slips, reduce forward speed.
2. Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished
when the snow is removed immediately after
if falls.
CAUTION: Do not overload the machine
capacity by attempting to clear snow at
too fast a rate.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap
each previous path.
4. Whenever possible, discharge the snow
down wind.
5. For normal usage, set the skids so that the
scraper bar is 1/8” (3 mm) above the skids.
For extremely hard−packed snow surfaces,
adjust the skids upward so that the scraper
bar touches the ground.
6. Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and
thrown by the machine. On gravel or crushed
rock surfaces, set the skids at 1−1/4 inch
(32 mm) below the scraper bar. See “How To
Adjust The Height Of The Skids” in the
Maintenance section.
7. After each snow throwing job, allow the
engine to idle for a few minutes. The snow
and accumulated ice will melt off the engine.
8. Clean the snow thrower after each use.
9. Remove ice, snow and debris from the entire
snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all
salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower
dry.

while inside a building, near a fire,
or while you smoke. Gasoline
fumes can cause an explosion or a fire.
If the snow thrower is to be stored for an
extended period, refer to the engine
manufacturer’s operating manual (included with
some models) for important maintenance or
storage details.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.
3. Never store the snow thrower with fuel in the
tank inside a building where ignition sources
are present such as hot water and space
heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the
engine (motor) to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
4. Drain the oil from the warm engine. Fill the
engine crankcase with new oil.
5. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder.
Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder.
Slowly pull the recoil−start grip so that the oil
will protect the cylinder. Install a new spark
plug in the cylinder.
6. Thoroughly clean the snow thrower.
7. Lubricate all lubrication points. See the
Maintenance section.

housing, auger, and the impeller with spray
rust preventative lubricant.
10.Put the unit in a building that has good
ventilation.
11.If the machine must be stored outdoors,
block up the snow thrower to be sure the
entire machine is off the ground.
12.Cover the snow thrower with a suitable
protective cover that does not retain
moisture. Do not use plastic.

RÈGLES D’UTILISATION DANS DES CONDITIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT : La machine est capable d’amputer des mains ou des pieds et de rejeter des objets. Lisez
ces consignes de sécurité et suivez−les à la lettre. Un manquement à ces consignes pourrait entraîner une
perte de contrôle de la machine, de sérieuses blessures ou même la mort, ou causer des dégâts matériels.
Le triangle situé dans le texte indique un danger ou une mise en garde qui doit être respecté.
Conditions d’utilisation en toute sécurité d’une souffleuse à neige
IMPORTANT : Les normes de sécurité impliquent la présence de
l’opérateur aux commandes afin de minimiser les risques de
blessure. Votre souffleuse à neige est équipée de ces
commandes. En aucun cas, vous ne devez essayer de contourner
la présence de l’opérateur aux commandes.
Formation
1. Lisez, comprenez, et suivez toutes les consignes sur la machine et
dans le manuel avant d’utiliser cette machine. Familiarisez−vous
complètement avec les commandes et l’utilisation appropriée de cet
équipement. Sachez comment débrayer les commandes et arrêter la
machine rapidement.
2. Ne laissez jamais les enfants utiliser la machine. Ne laissez jamais les
adultes utiliser la machine sans rappeler les consignes de sécurité.
3. Tenez les personnes, et en particulier les petits enfants et les animaux
à l’écart de la zone de traitement.
4. Agissez avec prudence afin d’éviter de glisser ou de tomber en
particulier lorsque vous reculez.
Préparation
1. Inspectez complètement la zone de traitement et enlevez les
paillassons, les luges, les planches, les câbles et tous les autres objets
étrangers à l’équipement.
2. Débrayez tous les embrayages et mettez au point mort avant de
démarrer la machine (moteur).
3. N’utilisez jamais l’équipement sans porter une tenue d’hiver
appropriée. Portez des bottes qui résistent aux surfaces glissantes.
Evitez de porter des vêtements larges qui pourraient se prendre dans
des pièces mobiles.
4. Manipulez l’essence avec précaution, elle est hautement inflammable.
a. Utilisez un récipient à essence homologué.
b. N’ajoutez jamais d’essence dans un moteur chaud ou en marche.
c. Remplissez le réservoir d’essence avec une extrême précaution à
l’extérieur. Ne remplissez jamais le réservoir d’essence à
l’intérieur. Revissez le bouchon du réservoir à fond et essuyez
l’essence répandue.
d. Ne remplissez jamais des récipients à l’intérieur d’un véhicule,
d’un camion ou d’une remorque avec une bâche en plastique.
Placez toujours les récipients sur le sol, loin des véhicules, avant
de les remplir.
e. Si cela est plus pratique, enlevez les appareils fonctionnant à
l’essence du camion ou de la remorque et remplissez−les à même
le sol. Si ce n’est pas possible, alors remplissez avec un récipient
portable plutôt qu’à partir du gicleur du distributeur de carburant.
f. Maintenez le gicleur en contact avec le bord du réservoir de
carburant ou l’ouverture du récipient jusqu’à ce que le remplissage
soit complet. N’utilisez pas un outil de fermeture/ouverture de
gicleur.
g. Revissez le bouchon du réservoir à fond et essuyez l’essence
répandue.
h. Si de l’essence s’est répandue sur les vêtements, changez−les
immédiatement.
5. Utilisez des rallonges et des récipients tel qu’indiqué par le fabricant
pour toutes les machines ayant des moteurs à fonctionnement ou à
propulsion électrique.
6. Règlez la hauteur du carter du collecteur pour enlever les graviers ou
les surfaces pierreuses accidentées.
7. N’essayez jamais de faire des réglages pendant que le moteur marche
(sauf si cela est recommandé par le fabricant).
8. Réglez le moteur et la souffleuse selon la température extérieure avant
de commencer à enlever la neige.
9. Portez toujours des lunettes de sécurité ou un masque de protection
pendant la manoeuvre de la machine ou pendant son réglage ou sa
réparation afin de protéger les yeux contre des objets étrangers qui
pourraient être rejetés par la machine.
10.N’utilisez jamais la souffleuse sans plaques de protection ou sans
autres appareils de sécurité appropriés.
Fonctionnement
1. Ne mettez pas les mains ou les pieds sous les pièces mobiles de la
machine. Maintenez toujours la chute propre.
2. Agissez avec une extrême prudence lorsque vous utilisez la machine
ou que vous traversez des routes ou des chemins recouverts de
graviers. Restez vigilant à l’égard du trafic et des dangers cachés.
3. Si vous rencontrez un objet étranger, arrêtez le moteur, enlevez le
câble de la bougie d’allumage, retirez le cordon relié aux moteurs
électriques, inspectez complètement la souffleuse pour vérifier qu’il n’y
a pas de dommages et réparez les dommages avant de redémarrer et
de manoeuvrer la souffleuse.
4. Si la machine vibre anormalement, arrêtez le moteur et cherchez−en
immédiatement la cause. Les vibrations sont généralement
l’expression d’un problème.
5. Arrêtez le moteur lorsque vous quittez votre poste avant de
désencrasser le collecteur/rotor ou la chute, et lorsque vous effectuez
des réparations.
6. Lorsque vous nettoyez, réparez ou inspectez, assurez−vous que le
collecteur/rotor et toutes les autres pièces mobiles sont arrêtés.
Débranchez le câble de la bougie d’allumage et tenez−le à l’écart de la
bougie d’allumage afin d’empêcher un démarrage accidentel.
7. N’utilisez pas la machine à l’intérieur d’un bâtiment sauf pour la
démarrer et pour la rentrer ou la sortir. Ouvrez les portes extérieures;
les émanations des gaz de combustion sont dangereuses (contiennent
du MONOXYDE DE CARBONE, un gaz INODORE et MORTEL).
8. Agissez avec une extrême précaution lorsque vous traitez les talus.
N’essayez pas de nettoyer les talus abrupts.
9. N’utilisez jamais la souffleuse sans plaques de protection ou sans
autres appareils de sécurité appropriés.
10.N’orientez jamais la chute en direction des personnes ou des zones où
des biens matériels pourraient être endommagés. Maintenez les
enfants à l’écart.
11.Ne dépassez pas les capacités de la machine en essayant d’enlever la
neige trop rapidement.
12.Ne manoeuvrez jamais la machine à des vitesses élevées sur des
surfaces glissantes. Regardez derrière vous et faites attention lorsque
vous reculez.
13.Débranchez l’alimentation du collecteur/rotor lorsque la souffleuse est
transportée ou non utilisée.
14.N’utilisez que les appareils et les accessoires recommandés par le
fabricant de la souffleuse (tels que cabine, chaînes à pneus, etc.).
15.N’utilisez jamais la souffleuse sans avoir une bonne visibilité ou un bon
éclairage. Faites toujours attention où vous mettez les pieds et tenez
fermement les poignées de commande. Marchez, mais ne courez
jamais.
