Snow blowers are powered machines with moving parts, thrown-object hazards, slippery operating conditions and, for fuel-powered equipment, exhaust and fire risks.
No replacement for the manual
Controls, safety systems, maintenance intervals, fuel requirements, battery limits, approved surfaces and repair procedures vary. Follow the current manual and manufacturer notices for the exact model and serial number.
Safety
Keep children, pets and bystanders away. Remove bricks, wood, rocks, toys, hoses, cords and other objects before snowfall. Never place hands or feet in the auger housing or chute. Shut down, isolate the power source, wait for movement to stop and use the supplied cleanout tool.
Never start, idle or operate a gas snow blower inside a garage, shed or other enclosed space. Refuel outdoors only after the engine has cooled.
