A FEW WORDS ABOUT SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others is very important, and using this 
snowthrower safely is an important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided 
operating procedures and other information on labels and in this 
manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt 
you or others. 
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the 
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a snowthrower. You 
must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms 
including:
• Safety Labels — on the snowthrower.
• Safety Messages — preceded by a safety alert symbol A and one of 
three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
• Safety Headings — such as IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
• Safety Section — such as  SNOWTHROWER SAFETY.
• Instructions — how to use this snowthrower correctly and safely
This entire book is filled with important safety information — please 
read it carefully.
