a. Use an approved fuel container.

b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.

c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank

indoors. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

d. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with

a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from

your vehicle, before filling.

e. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel

such on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a

gasoline dispenser nozzle.

f. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container

opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle

lock-open device.

g. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

h. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

5. Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer

for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.

6. Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock

surfaces.

7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is

running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).

Operation

1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the

discharge opening at all times.

2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives,

HowToRemoveSnowor Debris From

The Auger Housing

_ ARNING: Do not attempt to

remove snow or debris that may

become lodged in auger housing

with your hands. Use the clean-out tool or

a pry bar to remove snow or debris.

(Figure 21) On some models, a clean=out tool

(1) is attached to the top of the auger housing.

Use the clean-out tool (1) to remove snow

from the auger housing.

1. (Figure I) Release the auger drive lever

(5)

2. Pull out the safety key (8).

3. Do not place your hands in the auger

housing (4) or the discharge chute (3).

4. (Figure 21) Use the clean-out tool (1) or a

pry bar to remove any snow or debris.

Snow Throwing Tips

1. For maximum snow thrower efficiency in

removing snow, adjust ground speed. Go

slower in deep, freezing or wet snow. If the

wheels slips, reduce forward speed.

2. Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished

when the snow is removed immediately after

if falls.

CAUTION: DO not overload the machine

capacity by attempting to clear snow at

too fast a rate.

3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap

each previous path.

4. Whenever possible, discharge the snow

down wind.

5. For normal usage, set the skids so that the

scraper bar is 1/8" (3 mm) above the skids.

For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces,

adjust the skids upward so that the scraper

bar touches the ground.

6. Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and

thrown by the machine. On gravel or crushed

rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4 inch

(32 mm) below the scraper bar. See "How To

Adjust The Height Of The Skids" in the

Maintenance section.

7. After each snow throwing job, allow the

engine to idle for a few minutes. The snow

and accumulated ice will melt off the engine.

8. Clean the snow thrower after each use.

9. Remove ice, snow and debris from the entire

snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all

salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower

dry.

WARRANTY TERMS

Consumer Commercial

Brand / Unit Use Use

Dual Stage Snowthrower ........................... 2years ........................ 90 Days

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the period of time stated above.

"Consumer use" means personal residential household use by a retail consumer. "Commercial use" means all other uses, including use for commercial, in-

come producing or rental purposes. Once product has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as commercial use for purposes of

this warranty.

ABOUTYOUR WARRANTY

We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty

repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not apply to the

product if damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the war-

ranty is void if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified.

This warranty covers product related defective material and/or workmanship only. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and

the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of product failure that the warranty does not cover.

,, Normal Wear: Small Engine Powered Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. Warranty does not

cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of the product or part.

,, Installation: This warranty does not apply to product that has been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, alteration or modification. Nor

installations that prevent starting cause unsatisfactory engine performance.

Improper Maintenance: The life of this product depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Recommended mainte-

nance and adjustment intervals are stated in the Operator's Manual. Often product, such as tillers, edgers, rotary mowers, are used in dusty or dirty

conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, or other abrasive material entering the prod-

uct because of improper maintenance is not covered by warranty. The warranty will not cover repairs due to problems caused by replacement parts

that are not original manufactured part(s).

Incorrect and/or Insufficient Fuel or Lubrication: This warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of stale fuel, or altered gasoline. Damage to

engine or engine components i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, burned starter motor windings caused by use of alternate

fuels such as liquefied petroleum, natural gas, are not covered unless engine is certified for this operation. Parts which are scored or broken because

product was operated with insufficient, contaminated or incorrect grade of lubricating oil as well as product components damaged due to lack of lubri-

cation are not covered.

Operational Misuse: Proper operation of the product is stated in the Operator's Manual. Product damaged by overspeeding, overheating, or operation

in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. Product broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose or unbalanced

blades, impellers, overspeeding, or bent crankshaft due to striking of solid object. Damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, or im-

proper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration, as well as operating in excess of recommended capacities as outlined in the Operator's Manual

are not covered.

- Routine Tune-Up, Wear Items, or Adjustments: This warranty excludes wear items such as oil, belts, blades, o-rings, filters, etc.

,, Other Exclusions: Repair or adjustments for part(s) that are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton Corporation, are not covered, see warranty for re-

spective manufacturers. This warranty excludes failures due to acts of God and other major forceful events beyond the manufacturer's control.

Also excluded are used, reconditioned, and demonstration products.

Warranty service is available only through Authorized Service Dealers. Locate your nearest dealer in our Iocator map at www.murray.com.
