• Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the snowblower
indoors.
• Stop the engine and let it cool before operating covers for inspection
and other servicing.
• Carefully check the area before backing the snowblower up or while
working in reverse.
• For your safety and the safety of others, do not operate the
snowblower during darkness if it is not equipped with a headlight.
NOTE:
While operating the snowblower, hold the handle firmly and walk,
don't run. Wear suitable winter boots that resist slipping.
