SNOWTHROWER SAFETY
6
Operating Near Roads
Always watch for vehicle traffic when operating the snowthrower near 
roads and driveways. Never operate the snowthrower on public roads.
Operator Responsibility
Know how to stop the snowthrower quickly in case of emergency. 
Understand the use of all snowthrower controls.
Never permit anyone to operate the snowthrower without proper 
instruction. Do not let children operate the snowthrower. If people or 
pets suddenly appear in front of the snowthrower while it is in 
operation, immediately release the auger and drive clutch lever to stop 
the snowthrower and avoid possible injury from the rotating auger.
While operating the snowthrower, hold the handle firmly, and walk, 
don’t run. Wear suitable winter boots that resist slipping.
