truck or a 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 equipment on a trailer with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
f) Keep the 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.

SNOWBLOWER OPERATION
1. Make sure the snowblower is clear of snow;
2. Make sure the auger and impeller operate freely.
3. Make sure the electromagnetic clutch is deactivated and
the kill switch is disengaged.
4. Start the snowblower engine
5. Before activating the electromagnetic clutch, the
snowblower engine must run at maximum R.P.M.
6. Operate the snowblower safely.
IMPORTANT: Use full engine r.p.m. when removing
wet, sticky snow. low r.p.m. power will tend to plug the
chute.
WARNING
Never touch with your hands or feet the snowblower’s
fan, auger or the chute because this is the most
frequent cause of accidents associated with
snowblowers.
DANGER
Never let the snowblower motor run without all
guards in place.
LIFTING AND LOWERING THE
SNOWBLOWER
