Safety Precautions (Continued)
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are
explosive. Handle with care. Use an approved (RED)
fuel container.
NEVER allow smoking materials, sparks or flame
(match, pilot light, etc.) near equipment or fuel
container.
Check fuel supply before starting engine. Fill fuel tank
outdoors with extreme care. DO NOT fill fuel tank
indoors, when engine is running or while engine is
still hot from operation. Replace fuel cap securely
and wipe spilled fuel before starting engine.
Adjust auger/impeller housing height to clear gravel
or crushed rock surfaces.
NEVER attempt to make any adjustments to unit
while engine is running (except where specifically
recommended by manufacturer).
Operation
DO NOT put hands or feet near rotating parts. Keep
clear of discharge opening at all times.
Check function of all controls before starting engine.
All safety devices and guards must be in position and
operating properly or personal injury may result.
Open doors if engine is run in garage, exhaust fumes
are dangerous. DO NOT run engine in an enclosed
area.
Operate equipment only when there is good visibility
and light. Always be sure of your footing (walk never
run). Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Disengage power to auger/impeller when unit is
being transported or is not in use.
DO NOT overload machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
NEVER direct discharge of material toward
bystanders nor allow anyone in front of equipment
while unit is in operation. Be familiar with area of
operation.
Stay alert for holes, rocks, roots and hidden hazards
in area of operation.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for
hazards and traffic. DO NOT operate unit near glass
enclosures, automobiles, window wells, dropoffs,
etc., without proper adjustment of discharge direction
and angle.
DO NOT clear snow across face of slopes. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
DO NOT attempt to clear steep slopes.
Stop engine, remove key, wait for moving parts to
stop, and remove wire from spark plug (keep wire
away from spark plug to prevent accidental starting)
before leaving operator’s position for any reason
such as unclogging auger/impeller housing,
discharge chute, when making any repairs,
adjustment, inspections or cleaning unit.
DO NOT touch equipment parts which might be hot
from operation. Before attempting to maintain, adjust
or service allow such parts to cool.
If equipment vibrates abnormally, disengage
attachment, stop engine at once, and remove key.
Abnormal vibration is a warning of trouble. Repair
any damage before restarting unit.
After striking a foreign object, stop engine, remove
switch key and wait for moving parts to stop before
leaving operator’s position. Thoroughly inspect unit
for any damage and repair damage before restarting
and operating unit.
Run unit a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent freeze up of auger/impeller in housing.
Take all possible precautions when leaving unit
unattended, such as disengaging power to
attachment, stopping engine and removing key to
prevent unauthorized use.
Maintenance and Storage
DO NOT change engine governor setting or over
speed engine.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight and be sure
equipment is in safe working condition. Check shear
bolts and all hardware at regular intervals.
Refer to Storage Section of this Sno-Thro Owner’s
Manual for important instructions if unit is to be stored
for extended periods.
Never store equipment with fuel in tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark. Allow engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction decals as
necessary.
