IS YOUR SNOWTHROWER READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it 
is very important to take a few moments before you operate the 
snowthrower to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any 
problem you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you 
operate the snowthrower.
Before beginning your preoperation checks, be sure the snowthrower 
is on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
