Keep the area of operation clear of all

persons, small children and pets at all

times including startup.

CAUTION!!! BE COME ALERT!!! YOUR

SAFE TY IS IN VOLVED.

• Do not operate the equipment without wearing ad e -

quate winter outer garments. Avoid loose, dangling

clothing, such as scarves, which can get caught in

rotating parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing

on slippery surfaces.

• Handle fuel with care; it is highly ﬂ ammable.

- Never smoke while refueling.

- Use an approved fuel container.

- Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel to a running

engine (motor) or hot engine (motor).

- Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never ﬁ ll

fuel tank indoors.

- Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled

fuel.

- Never store fuel or snow thrower with fuel in the

tank inside of a building where fumes may reach

an open ﬂ ame or spark.

- Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space

for expansion as the heat of the engine (motor)

and/or sun cause fuel to expand.

STATIC ELECTRICITY HAZARD -

- Never ﬁ ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place

con tain ers on the ground, away from your vehicle

before ﬁ lling.

- 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 equipment

on a trailer with a portable container, rather than

from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

- Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tankopening at all times, until re fu el ing is complete.

Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted

to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.
