WARNING
A gap between the discharge chute and the chute
deflector may allow the appliance to throw snow and
objects in the direction of the operator. Thrown objects
could cause serious personal injury.
•
Do not force the chute deflector too far forward so
that a gap appears between the discharge chute
and chute deflector.
•
Do not adjust the chute deflector with the bail
engaged. Release the bail before adjusting the
chute deflector.
Operating Tips
WARNING
If the appliance hits an object while in operation, the
object could be thrown in operator's or bystander's
direction. Thrown objects could cause serious
personal injury.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects which
may be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
•
Check the condition of the appliance before operating it to
ensure that the rotor turns freely.
•
Always keep children and pets away from the area of
operation.
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other
objects which the rotor blades can throw. Such items could
be covered by snowfall and go unnoticed. If the appliance
strikes an object during operation, stop the appliance, unplug
the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and check the
appliance for damage.
•
Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet and work
outward. Blow back and forth, not away from and toward the
outlet.
•
When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord and
turn the appliance.
•
Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow downwind
when possible.

WARNING
When using the discharge chute handle, never
direct the snow discharge chute at the operator or
bystanders. The appliance can throw objects and
cause serious personal injury.
When using the discharge chute handle, always
turn the discharge chute in the opposite direction
from where you or bystanders are standing.
•
Keep the extension cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects,
and all moving parts. Do not pull sharply on cord or abuse
it in any manner. Inspect the extension cord frequently for
damage that may result in an electric shock. If the extension
cord is damaged, replace it.
•
In cold and snowy weather conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Therefore, if any control becomes
difficult to operate, stop the motor, disconnect the extension
cord, and check for frozen parts. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. Bring the appliance
indoors to thaw frozen controls before operating it.
