IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
8. Start engine only where exhaust fumes will be
safely dissipated. Allow a brief warm-up period,
and practice operation of controls outside before
putting the machine to work.
1. DO NOT store machine or fuel container inside
where fumes may reach an open flame, spark, or
pilot light as in a water heater, furnace, clothes
dryer or other gas appliance. Allow engine to
cool before storing machine in an enclosure.
Store fuel container out of reach of children in a
well ventilated, unoccupied building.
9. After striking a foreign object, STOP the engine
(motor), remove the key, and remove the wire
from spark plug. Thoroughly inspect the snow
thrower for any damage, and repair the damage
before restarting and operating the snow
thrower.
2. Keep machine and engine free of excess oil,
grease and spilled fuel to reduce fire hazard.
3. When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an
approved container outdoors and away from
open flame.
10. STOP the engine if the machine starts to vibrate
excessively
as
this
normally
indicates
mechanical problems. Remove the key and
disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent
unintentional starting before servicing or
repairing the machine.
4. Inspect all bolts, nuts and screws frequently and
keep properly tightened.
5. Use only recommended shear bolts (if equipped)
to prevent possible damage to machine.
11. DO NOT clear snow across the face of slopes.
Exercise extreme CAUTION when changing
direction on slopes. DO NOT attempt to clear
steep slopes.
12. DO NOT leave machine unattended with the
engine running. STOP engine and remove key to
prevent unauthorized operation.
6. Service engine and make adjustments only when
engine is stopped. Remove key, remove wire
from spark plug, secure wire away from plug,
and disconnect cord from electric starting
motors to prevent accidental starting.
7. DO NOT change engine governor speed settings
or overspeed engine.
13. Release
clutch
control
and
make sure
8. DO NOT test for spark by grounding the spark
plug next to spark plug hole. Spark from the plug
could ignite gas exiting engine.
9. Have machine serviced by an authorized
SNAPPER dealer at least once a year and have
the dealer install any new safety devices.
auger/impeller has STOPPED before rotating
discharge chute, adjusting deflector, or placing
hands near auger/impeller.
14. DO NOT use snow thrower on surfaces above
ground level, such as, a roof of a building.
15. Exercise extreme CAUTION when operating on
or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
10. Use only genuine SNAPPER replacement parts to
assure that original standards are maintained.
16. DO NOT overload the machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
17. Never operate the machine at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and
use care when backing.
18. Disengage power to the auger/impeller when
snow thrower is transported or not in use.
19. Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such
as wheel weights, counterweights, cabs and the
like).

from the original purchase date. SNAPPER will not be responsible for any installation cost incurred. The battery warranty
only covers original equipment batteries and does not cover damage to the battery or machine caused by neglect or

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to three
(3) years from purchase date for the original purchaser's residential or other non-commercial use, and ninety
(90) days from purchase for the original purchaser's commercial, rental or other non-residential use, and to the
extent permitted by law, any and all implied warranties are excluded. This is the exclusive remedy. Liabilities for
consequential damages, under any and all warranties are excluded.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
WARNING: THE USE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS OTHER THAN GENUINE SNAPPER PARTS MAY IMPAIR THE
SAFETY OF SNAPPER PRODUCTS AND WILL VOID ANY LIABILITY AND WARRANTY BY SNAPPER
