MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Check bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to be sure the equipment is in
safe working condition.
2. 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.
3. Always refer to operator's guide instruc-
tions for important details if the snow
thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction
labels, as necessary.
5. Run the snow thrower a few minutes after
throwing snow to prevent freeze-up of the
auger/impeller.
_IL WARNING: This snow thrower is
for use on sidewalks, driveways
and other ground level surfaces.
Caution should be exercised while using on
steep sloping surfaces. DO NOT USE
SNOW THROWER ON SURFACES ABOVE
GROUND LEVEL such as roofs of resi-
dences, garages, porches or other such
structures or buildings.
